'A copy of Eastwood's new book Belonging was given to every England player when they
reported for duty at the European Championships' - Telegraph In BELONGING Owen Eastwood
reveals for the first time the ethos that has made him one of the most in-demand Performance
Coaches in the world. Drawing on his own Maori ancestry Owen weaves together insights from
homo sapiens' evolutionary story and our collective wisdom. He shines a light on where these
powerful ideas are applied around the world in high-performing settings encompassing sport
business the arts and military. Whakapapa is a Maori idea which embodies our universal human
need to belong. It represents a powerful spiritual belief - that each of us is part of an
unbroken and unbreakable chain of people who share a sacred identity. Owen places this concept
at the core of his methods to maximise a team's performance. Aspects of Owen's unique approach
include: finding your identity story defining a shared purpose visioning future success
sharing ownership with others understanding the 'silent dance' that plays out in groups
setting the conditions to unleash talent and converting our diversity into a competitive
advantage. Whakapapa . You belong here. 'How Maori belief is driving the England team to

building a long term high-performing team' - Stuart Lancaster 'One of the wisest books about
winning you'll ever read... Powerful lessons beautifully expressed' - James Kerr 'Owen's
work and outlook really resonate with me. His philosophy has real depth and value. [It's] so of
the moment - at just the right time at just the right place with just the right message' -
