028 Know Me, Be Me, Stay Me – The Power of Authenticity One of my all-time favorite podcast episodes: Gilbert Enoka in conversation with John Kirwan. This one is packed with insights, diving into Gilbert’s upbringing, his role in shifting the All Blacks’ leadership culture, and the importance of mental well-being. There are so many lessons from this that hit home, especially when thinking about applying them in the workplace. Here are a few takeaways that stood out to me of many: • Being connected is not the same as feeling connected. • Values can feel abstract; set standards that people can live by. • Leadership can be horizontal, not just vertical. • Our impatience to win is often why we lose. • Information alone doesn’t lead to transformation. • Practice kindness. • Genuine care isn’t a skill; it’s a mindset. If you get a chance, give it a listen and walk away with some Enoka wisdom. I’ll definitely be revisiting it again myself!
