FROM ELITE SPORT TO BUILDING BUSINESS ...
Elite athletes discuss their transition to working life following a career in professional sport.
From athletes preparing to take the first step to those that have already closed the locker door, Podium podcast features some of the world's leading sports stars as they navigate work life after a career in a professional sport. Through honest and open conversation, we’ll discuss their white collar world beyond the field of sport and explore how the characteristics and methods that shaped them as a successful sports person helps, or hinders, life in the boardroom.
In what seems like the proverbial flash, we bring season 1 to a close. But not before our esteemed hosts, Simon & Tom, expertly cast their eyes over the insights and observations offered up by our wonderful guests in this inaugural season.
From the importance of relationship building to finding work-life balance, there are some great lessons to remember, but the most profound comes from Mr Tom May: "If you're a d**kh**d, nobody will deal with you". Very true!
