Raising the Roof podcast: Creating high performance cultures, with Dr Rob Archer

We’ve made it to the grand finale of Season 4 of Raising the Roof, and we’re closing things out with a top episode.

To wrap up the season, our host and CEO Nick Atkin is joined by Dr Rob Archer, one of the UK’s top performance psychologists. Rob has coached Olympic athletes, Formula 1 teams, and global business leaders. Now, he’s bringing that high-performance mindset into the world of housing.

This episode is all about unlocking potential. Rob and Nick explore what it really takes to build high-performing teams and stay resilient under pressure.

Rob introduces his High-Performance Routines framework, a practical and science-backed approach that helps people stay sharp, focused, and energised. He also explains the ‘flatline’ state, where people are constantly switched on but rarely at their best.

This isn’t just theory. Rob offers real, actionable advice you can start using right away. Whether you’re leading a team, managing a project, or just trying to stay on top of your day, there’s something here for you.

“When we're stressed, your mind is preparing you for certain behaviours and it's not necessarily preparing you to think clearly,” Rob explains.“You know, it's really preparing you to move. So somehow, we need to bring down that arousal, that physiology, so that you can think more clearly.”

These are just some of the insights Rob shares in what turned out to be the perfect way to end a season focused on rethinking how we work, lead, and live. If you’re looking for inspiration and a few lightbulb moments, this is the episode to catch.
