Having stood on the world's biggest stages, won Olympic and Commonwealth games medals, Kyle Brown who captained the South African 7's Rugby team (AKA The BlitzBokke) for many years joins me in a conversation to unpack some lessons he has taken from the big world stages and how to use them in everyday life.
Kyle shows some serious vulnerability while talking through the challenges of leaving a life of professional sport and talks about how even though you may be competing on the big world stages and may look super confident, this is often not he case.

Three school headmasters, all with more than 30 years each as the head of their organisations! For many of us, your school headmaster is often one of your first real impressions of leadership in an organisation. Today Ron Brown, Deon Visser and Richard Neaves discuss the experiences they all had of leading teams of staff, pupils and often highly emotive customers called parents.
We tried to figure out how many pupils and staff members the collective had the opportunity to lead and influence, however my math ability was not to standard to their dismay (I was an unfortunate failure of the math system)!
Today we have explored the possibilities of large organisational culture change using COVID as our catalyst. We are joined by a panel of four very diverse guests whose experiences range from CEO/CFO (Russel) in listed companies, to operational HR (Laura) within a large corporate, to a business and brand strategist (Pete) and 20 year campaigner in everything HR! (Deborah)
This episode really focuses in on the role of leadership and the challenges they have trying to implement change, but also diverts into some really interesting and exciting topics with regard to the opportunities we have as we move into this new world.
