0:00:09 > 0:00:14# There may be trouble ahead
0:00:14 > 0:00:21# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
0:00:21 > 0:00:25# Let's face the music and dance
0:00:25 > 0:00:32# Let's face the music and dance... #
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Nice? What the hell does that mean?
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- I've met him a few times. I seem to remember him as a decent guy. Hi, Sally.- Oh, hi.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44It's Monday morning and the
0:00:44 > 0:00:48start of another week at the Olympic Deliverance Commission in London.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Siobhan Sharpe, from PR company Perfect Curve,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54has asked for a meeting with Head of Deliverance, Ian Fletcher.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56We've got 15,000 people in the NEC.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58We've got Take That. We've got Beckham.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- We've got Boris, too.- Oh no, really? - Yeah, I know, I tried.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05No, I said, if he comes they're going to have to sew his shirt into his trousers first.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Her brief as Head of Brand for 2012 includes handling the Raising The Bar scheme,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13which is intended to involve young people in the excitement and inspiration of the Games.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Let's look at our options.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- OK, our options are, we've got one option here.- OK. Shall I just...?
0:01:17 > 0:01:24- OK, sure.- With a major relaunch of the scheme at the NEC in Birmingham only weeks away to coincide with the
0:01:24 > 0:01:26International Day for Youth, she's become concerned
0:01:26 > 0:01:30that the person chosen as its public face may not be the best choice.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Let's stay positive on this, shall we?- I'm totally positive.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You want people to be inspired, they've got to stay conscious first.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42I've never actually been to Warwick before, so that's pretty interesting for a start.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Meanwhile, the man in question, ex-Olympic athlete Dave Wellbeck, is on the road.
0:01:45 > 0:01:52I was having a look on the internet and, apparently, they've got a castle here, which is handy.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I might work that into the old presentation.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Great stuff.- After winning a silver medal in the 1,500 metres in Sydney
0:01:59 > 0:02:06in 2000, he went on to take silver again in Athens in 2004 before his career was gradually cut short.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08That's very good, Dion. Come on, all the way.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Fast legs. Let's go.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12To be honest, I didn't know what to do
0:02:12 > 0:02:14with my life after I stopped competing.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18All I knew was I wanted to put something back.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21To feel like you're making the difference.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24You might be switching on some kid out there, whereby you completely
0:02:24 > 0:02:27change the course of their future future.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29It can't get any better than that, can it?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Don't worry about those feet, they'll follow your shoulders.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35That's it, good boy, come on, great stuff!
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Right, here we go. Showtime!
0:02:41 > 0:02:46In his role as official 2012 Olympic hero, it's his job to get out
0:02:46 > 0:02:49there and spread the word about Raising The Bar to young people.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Today he's come to St Peter's School in Warwick.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Hi.- Morning. Can I help you?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Yes, hi, Dave Wellbeck.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh, yes. Welcome to St Peter's. I'll tell Colin you're here.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Great stuff. - You found us all right, then?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, yeah, no sweat.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Saying that, I did take a left too early and ended up at, is it Sainsbury's Homebase?- Right.- Yeah.
0:03:12 > 0:03:19You know, and PC World, and then I almost got siphoned back on to the bypass up towards Lea-mington Spa.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Leamington. - Yeah.- No, he's not answering.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I'll try his mobile.- So, I was like, "Oh, OK, this is interesting.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26"If I'm not careful, I'll end up at the castle."
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- The castle? - Yeah. Then where would I be?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31The castle's in the other direction completely.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Right.- It's in the centre of town.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- You can see it from the car park. - Yeah.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So, no, apart from that, straight down the line.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Your colleague's already here. She's outside on the phone, I think.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh, nice one.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Colin, it's Carol. I've got Dave Wellbeck here at reception.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Yeah. Great stuff.- Hey.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Hi.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57For today's presentation, Siobhan has decided to make the trip up from London to Warwick.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02I mean, you've got to know that Raising The Bar is at the heart of what we're about as a brand.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- Right.- She's keen to see for herself just how high up Dave is managing to Raise The Bar.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And it's out here in places like, umm...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Places like this that we need to be.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Warwick.- And that we need to be inspiring young kids
0:04:15 > 0:04:17to say, you know, "Hey, do you know what?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19"This is cool, I can be a hero, too."
0:04:19 > 0:04:25- Right, no pressure, then. - And I think I'm right in saying that Dave is the only British athlete
0:04:25 > 0:04:33to have achieved the feat of two middle distance silver medals at consecutive Olympic Games.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39I think the first few times you do it you get nervous, obviously, but then you get into it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44But, to be honest, as an athlete you are a performer anyway, so it's pretty much the same thing
0:04:44 > 0:04:47except you're using your mouth instead of your legs.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Give it up for Dave Wellbeck!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52APPLAUSE
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Thank you. That's...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Well, first of all thank you, Kevin. - Colin.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05And hello, Warwick!
0:05:10 > 0:05:16A friend of mine once told me that a good speech should begin with a joke, an anecdote and a...
0:05:16 > 0:05:20No, should begin with an anecdote, a joke and a laugh.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Well, there's an anecdote.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26There's a joke and there's a laugh.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34So, what do we mean when we talk about Raising The Bar?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37OK, funny you should ask that.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It's gone to sleep.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Probably having a power nap.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49That's not bad actually, I just made it up.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52PowerPoint having a power nap. Great stuff.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK, so... Ah! OK.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57OK, we're good. Right.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01So, what do we mean when we talk about Raising The Bar?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04OK. Well, it's funny you should ask that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Top question. Now, we have all been...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Oh, OK. No, that's gone on ahead now.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16That's the thing about computers, isn't it? They're not...
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Some of them, they're just... OK, no, we're good. We're good.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21That's... OK, right.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23OK. Well, that's two false starts.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25One more and I'll be disqualified!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'll just explain that.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33You're allowed three false starts and then...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36You're not allowed three, you're allowed two false starts and then you're out.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38You're out of the race. You're disqualified.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41In running, I mean.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Just like in life.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45OK, good stuff.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50When we talk about Olympic values, what are they?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Right, OK. Just talk amongst yourselves for one minute.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59He doesn't mean that literally, all right?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02For many in today's young audience, it will be the degree of crossover
0:07:02 > 0:07:06between the skills required to become the second best athlete in your field
0:07:06 > 0:07:10and those required to be a public speaker that's the biggest surprise.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13OK. Right, OK. Great. Good stuff.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17But what...?
0:07:17 > 0:07:22So when we talk about Olympic values, what are they?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Well, here's one that I prepared earlier.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Friendship!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Friendship, OK?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Now, being a hero isn't just about winning.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38We could say it's not about being king of the castle.
0:07:38 > 0:07:44Being a hero is about making new friendships wherever your castle may end up,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47even if it ends up right here in Warwick.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Warwick Castle.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- The guy is a major disaster area.- OK, I hear what you're saying, Siobhan.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Back in London, after having to leave Warwick early,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Siobhan has gone straight back to the Olympic Deliverance Commission.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10With the forthcoming International Concert for Youth
0:08:10 > 0:08:15at the NEC very much in mind, she's keen to share her findings about Dave Wellbeck with Ian.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16So, we're committed to the concert.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19We're committed to Raising The Bar being part of that event.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21So, these are the things we can't change.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Why don't we focus on the things we can change?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Sure. We lose Wellbeck. - Well, I'm reluctant to look at that at this stage.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29OK, that guy walks on to the stage with his laptop,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- we're dead history. - But...- Period.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- But what if he didn't just walk out there with his laptop?- Say again?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I mean, is there some sort of media training in the time available?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The guy does not need media training, Ian. This guy needs a complete oil change.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Right. So, we know someone who can do that?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45- OK, sure.- Good.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Good.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52It's a Green Beacon. It's a symbol of our commitment to a One Planet 2012.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'm sorry, it doesn't matter what it's a beacon of if you haven't got any wind.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Meanwhile, elsewhere in the building, other wheels are turning.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02If you look at a two week period over the last 10 years, you've got
0:09:02 > 0:09:06a wind speed of less than 3kph on a mean average of eight out of 14 days.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08But that's an average. That doesn't mean anything.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Yes, it does.- That's like saying the average height for a woman is 5'4", OK?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- How come I'm 5'7", then? - That's just daft.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15You're never 5'7" for a kick off.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Head of Sustainability, Kay Hope, is discussing plans for the Olympic Park wind turbine, or so called
0:09:20 > 0:09:27Angel Of Leyton, with Head of Contracts Nick Jowett and Head of Infrastructure Graham Hitchins.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'm sorry, I really think this is important.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I'm sorry, Kay. I'm all for saving the planet.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37I've no problem with that. But this is like building a very expensive boat in the middle of a desert.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Well, I'm sorry, I'm from Yorkshire. - It's difficult enough as it is.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- This is the one thing that makes sustainability visible. - Yeah, it is bloody big.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45If we lose that, I mean what is 2012 about?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Yeah.- You know?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Yeah.- Well, sport.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Yeah, sport. And stuff like archery.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- And what's the...? Oh...diversity. - I'm not going to let this go.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I'm sorry. - Well, then we've got a problem.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Yeah, it is going to be a problem, yeah.- Good. Well, we agree, then.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- That's what it is.- Yep, fine.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Seb, hi. How are you?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Oh, you know, pretty good, I think.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Busy but happy, so that's all good.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Meanwhile, Ian has had a call from upstairs.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Yes. Friday week, the 17th, I think.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, we're not sure about Cheryl Cole yet, Cheryl Tweedie yet,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23but we've definitely got Take That. And...
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Yes, he is coming. Yes, his office called last week and...
0:10:28 > 0:10:34Well, we made that point, but he's coming anyway. Oh, really?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Well, that's great, that's fantastic.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39No, excellent. Absolutely.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Absolutely. Well, hurrah for that.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Yeah. Well, Birmingham here we come, basically.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46No, it's good, it's all good.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- So, what's the...?- Now he's coming to the NEC concert, as well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Is that good for you? - No, I mean it's fine.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Suddenly everyone wants a piece of the Raising the Bar scheme.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's become like having your photograph taken with Johnny Depp.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Which is fine if you've got Johnny Depp, and I like the guy a lot, we haven't got Johnny Depp.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- We've got Dave Wellbeck.- Right. - Which is somehow different.- Yes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Sally, you're a star.- That's fine.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- Your wife's been trying to... - Yes, I know.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Shall I say you're...?- Yes, could you? That'd be great.- Sure.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Sally knows more about me than I do myself.- Right.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Not a problem.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Following her discussion with Ian, Siobhan has arranged for
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Dave Wellbeck to visit one of London's most innovative performance coaches.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Yeah, hi? - Yes, hello, it's Dave Wellbeck.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Oh, hi, Dave. Yeah, come on up.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Thanks.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Hi, Dave.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Hi.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- How are you? - Yeah, I'm pretty good, thanks.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- That's cool. - Not too bad at all, in actual fact.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Come on through.- Nice one.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Jason Topper originally studied as an actor at a number of well-known drama schools in London.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58OK, Dave. So, first of all, we don't need shoes, yeah?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- So let's say goodbye to those.- OK.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Fair enough.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Goodbye, shoes.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11He went on to audition for a wide variety of roles in radio, on stage, in television and film,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15both here and in America, before realising that his real vocation
0:12:15 > 0:12:20all along had been in the field of transformational personal reprogramming.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24So, you tell me what you think we're going to be doing here today.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Tell me what your expectations are.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31OK. Yes. Hoping you can give me a bit of help on the old presentation front.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Uh-huh. And how are we going to do that?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Right, OK. Well, I brought my laptop along, you know, with the old PowerPoint.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- What I was thinking was, I could do you a little bit of my...- No.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- No?- Nope. It's not going to happen.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- OK.- No, I'm going to ask you to put that bag outside in a moment because I don't want it in this room.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- We don't need it.- Right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- But before you do that, I want you to do something for me.- OK.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56You're about to go to sleep.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Right, am I? Blimey, that's...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01No, no, no, no. Stay with me, Dave. Listen, yeah?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02It's night.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07You're about to go to sleep and you're beginning to slip away, but just on the edge of your mind
0:13:07 > 0:13:11is all the stuff that Dave Wellbeck worries about.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Right. I mean, to be honest, I am pretty much out like a light.
0:13:15 > 0:13:22Well, this is stuff he may not even be aware of, but it is there and it's just waiting for him to go to sleep.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Blimey.- Yeah. I want you to take that bad stuff...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Hmm.- ..and I want you to put it in that bag.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35OK.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Sorry, I'm a bit... - No, don't tell me what it is.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's bad stuff, yeah? I don't want it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Right. OK, I see.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- So I'll just pop it in the bag? - In the bag.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58OK?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yeah, have you done that? Is it in there?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I think so. Yes.- Ok, good, good, good. Well done, Dave.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Now, I want you to take the bag, put it outside the room and I want you to leave it there.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Right.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Right. Will it be safe out there?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Just because, aside from the bad stuff, I do have my laptop in there.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- It'll be fine.- And my phone charger. - Dave, it'll be safe.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20OK.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29First of all... OK, here's the thing.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31This is a totally impossible task.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34What we're talking about here is a miracle.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36OK, but, I've got no option.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Ian's like, he's Head of Deliverance, he's trying to keep everybody happy.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I get that. So, you've got one shot at this.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46You need a miracle worker, what are you going to do?
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Well, I suppose you go to...
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Well, you are going to find out who the "go to" guy is, and then go some place else.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Right. Yes.- Yeah.- Right.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59OK, Dave,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01start by shaking these arms out, shall we?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- OK. - Get rid of some of this stiffness.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04- Right, very good.- No, your arms.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Oh, yeah. OK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09The theories on which transformational personal reprogramming
0:15:09 > 0:15:14is based were developed in New Mexico in the 1980s.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18But Jason is convinced that they work equally well in present-day Shepherd's Bush.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Slowly but surely, he is preparing Dave for whatever it is that might happen next.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24First of all...
0:15:26 > 0:15:28..who are you seeing?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Dave Wellbeck.- OK. Dave Wellbeck.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Good. You are going to look at him for as long as you want to.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36There's nothing he can do about it. OK.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Now...tell me what you think he's seeing.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Right. Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50What do you actually mean?
0:15:50 > 0:15:56- Tell me three things that he really likes about you.- Right. OK.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Umm.- No, don't let him look away. - No.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04- Three?- Yeah. Three things about you that he's really jealous of.- OK.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Umm...my nose?
0:16:07 > 0:16:08- Your nose?- No, that's rubbish, sorry.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- No, no!- No, no, OK, OK. I think he probably quite likes my trousers.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- OK.- Because I bought two pairs of these when I found them and I've
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- never actually done that before. - Do you know the thing
0:16:19 > 0:16:22that he likes about you most?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24The thing that he's most jealous of?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'd have to go with the trousers.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28No.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- You.- Yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33What?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34You.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41That's the thing that he really loves about you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50OK, what I'm asking us to do here is think laterally on this.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Can I just say, I don't think we should think laterally?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54I don't think that would be helpful.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Back at the ODC, it's Friday.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Kay's right to feel strongly about this. We start from the position
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- that legacy is embedded as a core value in everything we do and are. - Fine.- Legacy?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Sustainability, obviously. - Yeah, exactly.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Ian is hoping to find a solution to the wind turbine problem that keeps everybody happy.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Something that makes an equally bold statement of our commitment
0:17:14 > 0:17:17to green energy but that isn't, in essence, a wind turbine.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Call me old fashioned, but we've already got a biomass fuel energy unit in the Energy Centre.- Right.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Oh, brilliant!- It's green as hell and it's staring us in the face.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28OK, first of all, no-one knows what a biomass fuel energy unit is.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Right, basically... - I don't want to know, OK?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- OK.- You can't see it, you can't touch it, you can't smell it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36You can't smell a wind turbine either.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- A turbine...- You can actually smell biomass fuel.- Look...
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- OK, keep your hair on.- A wind turbine is big, it's bold, it's sexy.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's a symbol of everything sustainability should be.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Right.- I don't care if there's no wind, I really think that.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Don't look at me. I can't say anything right.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54He's in a meeting at the moment, so I imagine he's turned it off.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Meanwhile, Ian Fletcher's PA, Sally Owen, is protecting him
0:17:57 > 0:18:02from any unnecessary calls, irrespective of whether they're from his wife or not.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Yes, you can if you like, but I know he's got a pretty full day today.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I'm sorry, I can't, I'm afraid.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I'll make sure he knows you called, though.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Obviously, when the job's as big as this, you've got to be efficient,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16but anyone can be efficient if they want it enough.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19So what would you say is the most impotant part of your job?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Everybody wants a piece of Ian, but they can't always have it.- No.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I suppose what I'd say is that in the end it's my responsibility to make sure he's happy.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Right, that's quite a responsibility.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It is, but in the end if I don't do it, no-one else is going to, are they?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- No. No, they won't.- No.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39OK, well...here's something.
0:18:39 > 0:18:45It looks like we can't actually have a functioning wind turbine, but is there a way that we could have
0:18:45 > 0:18:50a wind turbine that functions as a beacon for everything a wind turbine stands for?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Yeah that's... A what?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm sorry, you're going to have to run that by me again, I'm afraid.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Like a giant installation piece?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Exactly.- So it would be exactly the same, except the thingies wouldn't go round.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Yes, or you could perhaps install a motor or...
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- What, a powered wind turbine? - Well, I'm just...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09You run it off your biomass energy unit, yeah?
0:19:09 > 0:19:10- Right.- Everyone's a winner.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- OK.- Well, there you go.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I mean, it's obvious. Mind you, it's probably wrong.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Yeah, I've been doing quite a bit of thinking since I met with Jason.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Quite a bit.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I...think he was onto something.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Meanwhile, Dave Wellbeck is on his way to another school, this time in Basingstoke,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and he's something of a changed man.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39I'm not going to use my cue cards, I'm not going to use my PowerPoint.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Dave Wellbeck is loosening right up.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53This time, both Siobhan and Ian have made the journey from London
0:19:53 > 0:19:56to see if Dave's work with Jason Topper has been successful.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Hi, guys.- Hey, Dave!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Hey. Thanks for coming again. - No, you got it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03You know Ian Fletcher, Head of Deliverance.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- Ian Fletcher, Head of Deliverance. - Oh, yes, look, right, yeah, yeah, excellent, wow.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Wow, you guys, this is...
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Good. - When I arrived and saw Siobhan but also Ian Fletcher standing there,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20to be honest, I was almost quite moved, to be honest.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23..Olympic gold medallist... silver, my apologies, Dave.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28'It's like running in front of your home crowd, whereby you literally fly.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33'Well, not literally, obviously, but in actual fact you literally run faster.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35'Or at least you literally feel like you are.'
0:20:35 > 0:20:39So without further ado, I'd like to introduce Dave Wellbeck. Dave.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43APPLAUSE
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thank you. Thanks, guys. Thank you.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Thank you.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So...well, first of all, thank you, erm...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Thank you.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56OK, great stuff.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00So...hello, Basingstoke!
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Er...
0:21:06 > 0:21:10A good friend of mine once told me that a good speech
0:21:10 > 0:21:15should begin with a joke, an anecdote and a laugh. I'm not going to bother with that today.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19In actual fact, I think that might have been the other way round, but that doesn't matter.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21OK. It was the other way round. Who cares?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Who can tell me what "raising the bar" means?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Anybody? Raising the bar?
0:21:31 > 0:21:37OK, so, but we all have our personal bars in our lives, don't we?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43But no, if you're a high jumper...
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Actually, do we have any high jumpers here today?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Any high jumpers?
0:21:52 > 0:21:58No, but you are trying to jump over an actual bar, like a real solid metal...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Well, it's not metal, obviously. It's probably some
0:22:01 > 0:22:05kind of plastic or graphite compound, I should imagine...
0:22:05 > 0:22:08And the higher you jump, the higher you have to...
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Unless you raise that bar, then you're never going to get over it...is...
0:22:15 > 0:22:22Yeah. But that's all very well and good, but how are we going to achieve that?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28When we talk about Olympic values, what are...?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30That's what I'm going to do now, OK?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32But what is friendship?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Anybody here have any friends?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Anybody? Yes? Excellent.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- And w-w-w-what's your name?- Naomi.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Excellent, very good, Naomi, and where do you live, Naomi?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I don't want to know that, obviously.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Back in London, Ian and Siobhan are already busy considering their options.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- There's Louise Richards.- Right. - She's perfect for Raising The Bar.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04She's real smart, she looks great in heels, and the key thing
0:23:04 > 0:23:06she has going for her is she's not Dave Wellbeck.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Yes. What's she been doing? - Great question...
0:23:08 > 0:23:11With only nine days to go before the International Concert for Youth,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14they know that if they're going to make a decision,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17they need to do it now before they run out of ex-athletes.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- And what is it she won? - What did she win?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Jesus, Ian, give me a break, I'm not Nostradamus.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Oh, OK, 400m hurdles, Athens. - Right, exactly, what's not to like?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29No, you're right about this, Siobhan.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Well, duh!- I feel we've tried with Dave Wellbeck, we've given him another chance.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35And the guy sucked. He went out there and he totally ate carpet.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39OK, whatever, but I'm clear on this, I'll action this, but I'm not going to just sack him.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Right.- He's a whole-hearted guy, he tries hard, he never gives up. - Yeah, yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I want to find something else for him to...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- I'm totally cool with that. - Yeah, so what about the Paralympics?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Yep, that's cool.- Cos you think, how much damage could he actually...? - That's a good area.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Or is there anything in the whole Cultural Olympiad area...
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- You're killing me. - No, OK, I just had to say it.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01In a way, it's a shame that Raising The Bar is all about young people.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Right.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06We don't have a scheme to inspire old people, do we?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07No, nuh-uh.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Like any team, this is a team made up of people with very different strengths.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17I'd say Siobhan's key strength is that she's absolutely 100% committed to being right about things.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- Right, how do you feel about that? - It's my job to manage and harness that commitment.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23And how do you feel about that?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Yes, I mean it's not my job to have feelings about it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I don't think that would be particularly helpful,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30and in Siobhan's case it would be pointless anyway,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34she's very clear about not wasting time on things like listening.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Meanwhile, it's another week.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Dave, hi.- Hey, hi.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Sorry to keep... Sorry to keep you waiting.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53No worries, not at all. Huge, isn't it?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Yes, it is. Come on through.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Yeah, nice one.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Ian and Siobhan have invited Dave Wellbeck in for a meeting.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Siobhan you know, of course. - Hey, Dave.- Yeah, yes, of course.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Hey!- Hey there. - Have a seat.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Oh, nice one.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11They've got a carefully thought through proposal to put to him.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Here's another statistic for you. By 2030, over 60% of us will be over 65.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Right.- This is a huge constituency we're talking about.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23- Here's the thing, Dave. What we want to say here is that old people are our future.- Nice one.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Well Fit is a new campaign aimed at encouraging the elderly
0:25:26 > 0:25:31to get involved in the excitement and inspiration of the Games.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33It's like my parents, they're both in their 60s.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Right, OK. There you go. - I don't think of them as old at all.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Exactly, 60 isn't old anymore. That's what Well Fit is all about.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43The point is, your parents are absolutely typical.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Well, I don't know about that. You'd have to meet them.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- My mum's pretty wacky, to be honest. - Is she?- Yeah, she's out there.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Right, well, Dave, all I can really say to you is that this is a major campaign for us,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57and when we sat down to draw up a list of people who could possibly
0:25:57 > 0:25:59front it, we only wrote one name on that list.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Right.- It was yours. - Well, yes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Wow.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- I don't know what to say. - I guess we think of it as a more senior position, if you will.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- I will.- Like I say, you'll want some time to think about it.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Erm, what about Raising The Bar? - Well, yes.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Because I don't want to let people down.- Of course not.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- I mean, I could maybe do both. - Well, no.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23- No.- I don't mind the extra travel.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25We feel that would be beyond the call of duty.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Yeah, I don't mind that.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- We've thought about this long and hard, haven't we?- Mm-mm.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33And really we're resigned to the fact that if we lose you to Well Fit,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36we're just going to have to find somebody else for Raising The Bar.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Right.- It's been a very difficult decision for us.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Well, like I say to my guys at the academy,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47the easy stuff is easy, it's the difficult stuff that's difficult.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Yes.- Way to go.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54I think it's a pretty good outcome, all things considered.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58For Ian, meanwhile, all things considered, this has been a pretty good outcome.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Without Dave Wellbeck, we'd never have got to Well Fit.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Do you feel you've been honest with him? - Honest, what do you mean by that?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Well, it's not really a promotion, is it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Well...- Not really.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Let's say you've got an athlete entered in a particular event but keeps losing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17All we've done is, we've entered him in a different event
0:27:17 > 0:27:20in which he stands a much better chance of winning.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Right, OK.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I mean, I'm still gobsmacked, to be honest.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27To be honest, I can't believe it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32For Dave himself, there's barely time to think straight before settling in to his new role.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35I mean, to be honest, when I first started this,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39I didn't think I could do it, I didn't think I had it in me.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44When I was training, we used to talk about... You can only believe it if you can achieve it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I never used to... No, wait, it's the other way round, isn't it?
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- Er, well...- You can always achieve it if you don't... You can never believe it if you're not...
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Anyway, it's when people start to believe in you, that's when you believe in yourself.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Yes.- And that's when you realise...I'm Dave Wellbeck.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01For me to make that kind of journey...
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I can't tell you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17For Dave Wellbeck, this has been a personal journey.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20He may not know exactly where it's going to take him yet, but through
0:28:20 > 0:28:27hard work, sheer determination and other Olympic values, he's surely getting closer to finding out.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29OK so...show time.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Yeah.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Great stuff!
