Season 2 Episode 5 – Translating the world of Sport across to the Business World

Listen Later

In this podcast I am joined by Andrew Hore - CEO of The Auckland Blues. I’ve always been interested in sport, especially high-performance sport and how we can translate this across to the business world.

We covered the following -

  1. Mental health – especially with the impact from social media and the work The Blues are doing particularly with the younger players.
  2. How taking advantage of opportunities where you have the room to learn and improve, not waiting for it to come to you in a processed environment can help you grow.
  3. Grit – what can this really mean, when (and it happens to the best of us!)motivation drops? Remaining consistent and curious! Aiming to be good at only certain aspects, not everything, rugby players just like individuals in a workplace cannot be great at everything. Pick your quality and become consistency good at improving it while maintaining being curious on how you can do this.
  4. Looking at levels of accountability and tying it in with vulnerability. Creating an environment where you can have tough challenging conversations.

    5. Thanks so much joining me Andrew, plenty more to talk about next time!
