I Made a Significant Error. My CEO's Eyes Told Me Before He Said a Word.

What a Premiership rugby club taught me about making decisions and never getting asked twice

A couple of years into my career at a well known Premiership rugby club, a new CEO arrived. He had a black notepad that went everywhere with him. If something went into the notepad, it was happening. And if the notepad came out and he wasn’t smiling? Take cover.

In this episode I talk about what he taught me — the hard way — about decisiveness, pace, and why procrastination is really just a failure to back your own judgement.

You’ll also hear about the New Zealand All Blacks and why their extraordinary win rate comes down to something much simpler than talent, and what the pace of professional sport teaches you about making decisions that actually move things forward.

One lesson from sport. One story from me. One thing you can take away and use today.

Press play. I’ll see you in there.
