About Me
My name is Peter McCrory and I live in Lincolnshire, UK.

I have just joined the WikiEducator Community and I am interested in collaborations regarding High Performance Teams, Leadership Development using Experiential Leadership where possible, Sports Psychology, Psychometrics, and Health and Wellbeing. I am also keen to engage with people who are using Mental Skills Training to develop and enable people to take themselves to the next level. Essentially I am extremely interested in collaborating with people to enable them to make a difference in their professional and personal lives.

This year I am training and competing in the World's Toughest Bike Race, The Race Across America. This is an Ultra Endurance bike race from the West Coast of the USA to the East Coast, a total of over 3000miles including over 100,000feet of ascent, within 9 days. That equates to cycling to over 3 times the height of Everest. You can follow my progress via the blog at Peter McCrory's Blog.

Professional Background
Following a fulfilling Royal Air Force Career as a Helicopter Navigator, Leadership and Personal Development Coach and Facilitator, Peter has over 16 years experience of working with high performing teams dealing with time management, conflict resolution, strategic change management, collaborative leadership, personal coaching and the delivery of personal development programmes. Peter is an outstanding facilitator and certified in a variety of performance management tools including The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, The Strength Deployment Inventory and Belbin Team Roles.

Peter is a Civilian Aviation Authority Licensed Facilitator in Crew Resource Management (CRM) and currently delivers tailored CRM programmes to UK military organisations and NetJets Europe.

Peter is also a qualified Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and certified by the American Board of NLP. Peter uses the latter qualification to produce bespoke coaching programmes for his clients, and uses many examples from sport together with his own personal experiences of working under arduous conditions and competing in Ironman Triathlon, to facilitate and coach high performing teams to embrace a paradigm shift in order to achieve outstanding human performance.

An accomplished long distance triathlete Peter’s zest to go the extra mile really does help people, teams and organisations become truly unstoppable! His enthusiasm lies in helping people to think differently so that they can excel in whatever they choose to and, ultimately, achieve their own true potential.

My Education
Peter has a Bachelor of Arts in International Business Studies and Spanish. Following a successful Military Career in the Royal Air Force, where Peter flew the Puma Suport Helicopter in Operational and Peacekeeping Operations in Northern Ireland and Kosovo for over 10 years, Peter became a Leadership and Personal Development Coach at the Royal Air Force College in the United Kingdom. During this time Peter became vastly experienced with the delivery of Experiential Leadership Trainings throughout Northern Europe using the Outdoors as a medium for Organisational, Team and Personal Development.

Peter is currently earning a Masters Degree in Applied Sport and Exercise Science, and is currently researching for my Masters Dissertation/Thesis on Attention Control and Self-Regulation in Military Pilots.

My MSc in Sport and Exercise Science

Raising Funds to Support Open Education
It is my intention to raise funds in a charitable capacity for the OER Foundation / WikiEducator, the organizations which are poised to become a combined international leader in open education. Currently it is an expanding global open source project of 11,000 educators in 110+ countries. The proceeds of the donations all go to help train teachers in Africa. You can find out about the two organisations at (1) http://www.oerfoundation.org; and http://www.wikieducator.org

RAAM Turbo Training
Just found this resource on the www which is great for a bit of variety when having to resort to the turbo trainer, to get some quality training in during the winter months.
