From Rugby Fields to Boardrooms: How Microlearning Transformed My Sales Career

Throughout my 20+ year career as a sales professional, I also had the incredible opportunity to travel the world and play rugby, experience diverse cultures, and challenge myself on and off the field.

All Black & Blues

Movie after movie, year after year, when it came to Arnie and Sly, no villain bossman and henchmen had a chance! Abit like the Crusaders the past six seasons.
Take the 1985 movie Commando for instance. Here’s Arnie (like the Crusaders) as Colonel John Matrix on a mission to rescue his teenage daughter Jenny (the Super Rugby Trophy) from a group of terrorists (SANZAR) led by President Arius.

First Blood

One of the great Wins by Queensland, a lot of shit talking about Billy Slater’s team choices but the

Locked & Loaded

Origin 2023 is upon us. With game 2 this year being played in the other state, you could say Game 1 is almost a must win for the Blues because we all know the other team grow an extra arm and a ref at home. So, for Freddy and his staff, getting the selections right is crucial.

Malo NRL fans round 21 is upon us and with Origin over, the Telstra Premiership is back on centre stage. 7 rounds to go and I must admit, the make up of the top 4 is still undecided as teams still have enough time to bring it home or at the same time ki’o their ofuvae (shit their pants) and come up
