What does a high-performing team actually look like, and how do you build one in a way that feels human, not forced?
In this episode of Stopgap Talks, Sarah Windsor is joined by Matt Turner – founder, speaker and coach – to explore the reality behind building teams that deliver both performance and meaning.
Drawing on his experience scaling Clownfish Events into an award-winning business known for its exceptional culture, Matt shares honest insights into what truly drives team success; from leadership behaviours and trust, to the small, everyday actions that shape how people work together.
Through a mix of practical advice and storytelling, this conversation brings to life what great culture looks like in practice.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What high-performing teams really look like beyond the buzzwords
- Why culture is built through daily behaviours – not just strategy
- The small actions that have the biggest impact on team performance
- The role of leadership in shaping (or breaking) culture
- How to build trust, clarity, and accountability within teams
