What's Your Mindset - Lee Jones - Growth Director #315

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Lee Jones on Mindset, Accountability, and Building Elevate Performance Through Adversity Host Savia Rocks welcomes Lee Jones, growth director and co-founder of Elevate Performance, a behavioral change consultancy that helps organizations improve leadership, conversations, culture, inclusion, and psychological safety. Lee shares growing up in social housing with hardworking parents, a troubled teenage period, and a life-changing spinal tumor operation at 21 that left him temporarily paralyzed, followed by intensive rehab that enabled him to walk and return to football as a team captain. He discusses how accountability and mindset shaped his career progression, including taking initiative in early corporate roles, and later leaving corporate life after bullying. Lee describes starting Elevate with seven partners during COVID, pivoting toward leadership and inclusion work, and building purpose-led partnerships and clients. He also speaks candidly about depression, anxiety, mindfulness, men’s emotional openness, “control the controllables,” defining success through family moments, and where to find him via elevate.co.uk and LinkedIn. 00:00 Welcome to Us People Podcast 01:20 Meet Lee Jones 03:26 Growing Up and Drive 05:50 Spinal Tumor Turning Point 09:11 Mindset and Career Rise 11:16 Fight or Flight Moment 15:06 Mirror and Mental Health 21:16 Men and Emotions 28:14 Building Elevate Performance 33:58 Purpose Led Startup 39:24 Redefining Success 40:58 Who Gave Me A Chance 41:34 School Pivot And ADHD 43:54 Career Breaks And Elevate 45:38 Excluded And Taking It Personally 49:48 Needy Or Human 52:55 Desert Island Picks 55:19 Control The Controllables 58:21 Circle Of Influence Story 59:43 Feeling Peace Right Now 01:01:58 Armor And Self Protection 01:03:24 Where To Find Lee 01:04:56 Final Thanks And Sign Off 01:06:25 Outro Song And Credits Thank you so much Lee for coming on the show and sharing with us a story that people can relate too. regardless of our background there is so much that people don't see - Savia Rocks Support the show
