This week I have an absolute beauty for you all. Aiden Blizzard was mostly known for his massive hitting of a cricket ball around the world, but its the journey and the lessons he has learnt along the way that has shaped the legend that is he today.

This episode shows what resilience and determination really look like. Aiden’s career has seen him hitting sixes all over the globe. He has played for The Adelaide Strikers, Canterbury, Hobart Hurricanes, Marylebone Cricket Club, Mumbai Indians, Rajshahi Division, South Australia, Sydney Thunder, Tasmania, Victoria and the Mighty Shepparton Youth Club.

This episode is a lot of fun, as well as insightful with Aiden sharing several storeys and lessons that will help everyone as we navigate through a testing 2020. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did in interviewing Aiden.

Another week, and yes that’s right, another world-class guest. I am so excited to share this incredibly insightful and engaging podcast with master communication coach Rik Rushton.

We all know that success means different things to different people. But no matter whether you’re looking for a new level of success as a business person, a parent or a partner in a relationship, the quality of your life will be directly linked to the quality of your relationships. And whilst it is easy to ‘connect’ with people who are just like you, there is so much power gained from connecting with people who are directly opposite to you!

Best-selling Author, Rik Rushton shares a simple communication framework to help you to connect with all personalities by simply “Tuning-in” to others before you broadcast, allowing you to connect on a deeper level. He is the Best Selling Author of “The Power of Connection” (How to become a master communicator in your workplace, your headspace and at your place). He is a Peak Performance Coach, Speaker on communication and a recognised authority on building growth cultures in elite business and sports organisations.

#203: Brooke Neal | All About Balance

Today’s guest Brooke Neal should have been at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics the day we recorded this episode. She was one of the Black Sticks (New Zealand Women’s Hockey Team) most decorated players for the last decade, but due to COVID19 and the state of the world, she was able to take me up on a much more appealing offer to be a guest on this week’s podcast.

It all started for Brooke on the grass at Kensington Park in Whangarei in New Zealand. She was three years old when she first picked up a hockey stick and hasn’t put it down since!

Brooke would like to think that hockey is just one of the things that have shaped her life, along with her career and a fantastic support network. A lanky 15-year old whose nick name was ‘baby giraffe’ to having the honour of wearing the black singlet for New Zealand at the Rio 2016 Olympics, and playing over 170 games for her country. Brooke spends her spare time eating, paddle boarding, beach-ing, yoga-ing, watching home and away and spending time with friends and family.

In 2013, she graduated as a Sir Edmund Hillary Scholar from the University of Waikato with a Bachelor of Communications, and since returning from Rio, Brooke has become an Olympic Ambassador. Through visiting over 180 schools, she has found her passion for helping young girls who are in the same boat as she was at high school, to support them through such a transformational time and help them find a sense of balance. Brooke immersed herself in self-development courses, books and podcasts, completing “The Female Leader” course run by Altris in 2016, and the “Conscious Boss Bootcamp” in 2017. Brooke is excited for this next chapter of her life with her company ‘All About Balance NZ’ now that she has retired from professional sport.

Im sure everyone will take something away from today’s fun and an insightful podcast chat. To reach out to Brooke and find out more about everything she is doing, you can do so on the links below:
