How do you take a business valued at next to nothing, and turn it into a global powerhouse? What are the tangible traits that make one leader different from another?  For over 20 years, Dr Brian McNamee was the CEO of Commonwealth Serum Laboratories. In 1999, it was a small government owned business valued at little more than its buildings. Incredibly, under Brian’s leadership, it has been transformed into Australia’s biggest company - with over 25,000 employees in more than 35 countries.  As Australia’s largest vaccine manufacturer, CSL’s impact and Brian’s voice are important now more than ever. Regarded by many as an outlier in corporate Australia for his unique thinking, Dr McNamee is still at the head of CSL’s decision making, and continues to be a leader in one of the world’s most important industries.  Start your leadership journey today.

In unheard 2013 NRL Premiership reflections, the Sydney Roosters' legendary coach steps through the importance of being humble in an already established environment, and what it took to shift philosophies and make an impact in a fiercely competitive environment.

Triple M's The Friday Huddle changes tone, and the banter takes a back-seat, giving the boys a chance to have a raw and vulnerable conversation about where they draw the line while on-air, their responsibilities as broadcasters, the need for self-awareness in a changing world, and what parenting has done to change the way they approach life.  The Friday Huddle brought together AFL legend Chris Judd, The Howie Games' Mark Howard, AFL 200+ gamer Nathan Brown and Bulldog's great Luke Darcy to broadcast Australian Rules Football to millions of Australians. With its style, the show often treaded the line, pushed the boundaries and took the gloss off of traditional broadcasting. Start your leadership journey today.
