My role at Right to Dream was to learn, conceptualise, strategise and implement RTD’s unique method for culture creation - a culture that over the last 10 years produced purpose-driven athletes such as Mohammed Kudus, Mikkel Damsgaard, Mathias Jensen, Katrine Kuhl, and Ousseni Bouda, scoring world cup goals, fielding the youngest team and the building the 10th most profitable club in the world - in an operating system that could be learned and adopted by RTD’s growing club and academy model. My team and I had to turn all this into learning for leaders, coaches, players, staff and students. And that’s what I did. 

Capturing this culture OS taught me to design and adapt environments that married performance & development meaningfully and sustainably. Over many years, integrating with the wider world of sport and technology gave me knowledge of other work cultures and their friction points. All this, I allied with my earlier experience as a philosopher and social scientist, and gradually information formed into insights from across the worlds of work, performance, technology and culture design.

My experience  helped me to combine learnings with my PhD and the latest research to create a learnable method for people to implement in their own performance environments, to work with feeling, and ultimately, to flourish.

I’m Dr. Jacob Naish. I tuned my knowledge as a culture designer in the high-stakes yet purposeful sport world. MIND3D was forged over 20+ years of working in professional football, where culture, technology, and performance collide.


Guided by wayfinders such as Dr. Pippa Grange (Head of Human Performance for the 2018 World Cup England Football Team), and Tom Vernon (Right to Dream Founder and rebel voice in world football), the wisdom I draw from centres upon self-knowledge, meaningful connection and navigating change.


Working with teams, players, student-athletes, and leaders taught me the true value of meaningful connection, and the price of failing to intentionally work towards it.
