Dr Richard Harris On The Thai Cave Rescue, Thriving Under Pressure + the People You Want on Your Team

If you’ve been in our world for a hot minute, you’ll have heard us talk about the mental run up. The mental run up is made up of automatic thought patterns in response to an upcoming situation. Some we’re not aware of, and some are easy to brush off as “I’m an overthinker.” But they can be a drain, pulling you further away from the task at hand. They’re often happening behind the scenes without us even realising it, derailing our energy. The mental run up falls between the moment you’ve made the decision to do something challenging and when you actually do it. This is what we talked about with Co-Australian of the Year, Dr Richard “Harry” Harris on our Leading Generous Teams podcast this week. Richard has worked in anaesthesia, diving and aeromedical medicine around the world. Harry has a professional and voluntary interest in search and rescue operations, establishing the first flooded cave rescue capability in Australasia. The 2018 Thailand cave rescue was an opportunity to put this training to work. In 2018 he received the Star of Courage, Australia’s second highest civilian award for bravery, and the medal of the Order of Australia for his role in the Thailand cave rescue. Harry was the joint 2019 Australian of the Year with his dive partner Craig Challen. He is now primarily working as a speaker, author and film maker. In this episode, we discuss: Richard’s mental run up leading up to the Thai Cave Rescue. What Richard does to fuel his mindset during uncertain times.
