48 | Tips on leadership and purpose from an Irish rugby legend

If you live in Ireland and follow the sport, Jamie Heaslip is a household name and one that's synonymous with Ireland's rugby success over the past 15 years. As well as having earned 95 caps for Ireland and played 230 matches for Leinster, he was also part of two British and Irish Lions Tours. Due to injury, Jamie had to retire from rugby in 2018. He's since carved out a very successful career for himself, investing in and setting up a business; and, more recently, a high-performance coach, supporting executives and their teams to be the best they can be.
