Our guest for these webinars is Jake White. We can promise that this is one of the most interesting and useful podcasts that we have recorded.

Jake White achieved a degree of fame as the coach of the Springboks Rugby Union team that won the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Since he has coached at the highest level around the globe – in Japan, Australia (Brumbies), South Africa (Sharks), Tonga, and France (Montpellier)- and now back in South Africa with the Bulls. He has worked with and managed a multiplicity of cultures.

And he has a very down-to-earth understanding of mental toughness and its importance in the success of all his teams. He has useful insights into leadership that apply to all sectors, not just sport. He also has a deep interest in and passion for the development of young people.

Jake White adopts a "big picture" view on individual development and its relationship with team and cultural development, which is both refreshing and insightful.

There is a lot of learning being shared here. Part one of three episodes.
