21. John Buchanan - Coaching Legend - The art of high performance in business and sport

John Buchanan is the former World Cup-winning coach of the Australian cricket team. 

In the 8 years leading the team, they won 3 consecutive World Cups, a world record 16 consecutive Test Victories, Ashes victories 2001 and 2003 and winning a test series in India for the first time in 36 years.

John is now a high-performance coach in the corporate world, helping businesses, leaders, teams and individuals achieve greatness. His diverse background and experiences means he has a unique approach to coaching. 

I loved this conversation we covered everything from; 

• His own personal journey and his own lessons as a coach
• His perspective on growth as an athlete and an individual and how it is important to have both. 
• How he dealt with criticism towards some of his methods
• What we learn in sport and how to apply that to business and vice versa
• Why it is important to have experiences outside your sporting or business realm
• The importance of trust in coaching and building deep relationships 
• Why it is so important to know your own values and principles and what this means when creating a high performing team 
• How you move from vision to planning to strategic thinking
• We also speak about the devasting loss of Shane Warne and why John believes he was such an icon.

John is a wealth of wisdom and experience so it was a pleasure to speak with him.
