In this episode of the Authentic Leadership podcast, Gabrielle speaks to John Cox. She first met John when he attended her storytelling training at National Australia Bank. Currently he is finishing a five-year stint as Chief Information Officer at Australia Post before moving onto Coles as their Chief Technology Officer.

John's career has covered the breadth of financial services (banking, payments, insurance, wealth, and markets), retail, government services and logistics. He has lived and worked in Australia, Germany, Scotland, and England and has managed teams across the globe. John is passionate about learning and the potential of education to change lives.

During the conversation John discusses his belief in leading bravely and saying it as it is. So please be warned that you may want to listen to this with headphones as there is a bit of swearing. Gabrielle would like to say John started it but he didn’t. Anyway, we hope you enjoy the conversation which includes what authentic leadership means and looks like to John.
