015 - Brendan Cannon - Much More Than a Former Wallaby

Brendan Cannon is a former Wallaby. He spent time working as a TV rugby analyst and is now well into a corporate career. And to add to all of that, Brendan is a man who was born to be interviewed. With a great voice for radio, Brendan indulged my fascination with the inner working of life as a professional sportsman. He drew on his 10 years as a fulltime rugby player, reflecting on the lessons he learned about himself and life, leaders and team dynamics. He talked about his near death experience as a 19 year old, how it changed his approach to life and how he feels driving over the Storey Bridge. If you’re a rugby fan, or even just a fan of sports in general, this episode will fascinate you. If you have no interest in sport, you’ll love it too. Brendan is a high achiever who has a gift for extracting the lessons of life, rationalising them and putting them into new contexts. He gives wonderful insight into leading and being part of a healthy team environment. There's something for everyone in this episode of the Team Guru Podcast…enjoy!
