At the time of his retirement, the Australian Cricket Team were the World Cup Champions, Test Cricket Champions and One Day Champions, and also returned the Ashes to Australia. This record of victories makes John the most successful coach in history with a winning record of over 75%. Since retiring from coaching, John has transferred his uniquely innovative coaching and leadership strategies from the cricket pitch to the corporate arena.

A successful professional sportsman, Scott is one of the few athletes in history to play at the elite level in two global sports (Tennis and Golf). Now a transformative leader of individuals and teams, Scott’s passion is helping others to realise their potential and increase the probability of success. His professional journey spanning over two decades immersed in elite sport and high performance coaching, has helped him accumulate ‘best practice’ in performance leadership, cultures, methodologies, and strategy – that are seamlessly transferable to any business.
David Pich
David is AIM Membership’s inaugural CEO, with a background in operational HR sales and marketing, and executive roles in membership focused not-for-profits including ACCA, the St George & Sutherland Medical Research Foundation and CanTeen. He has an open management style that leads him to prefer being addressed as “Dave”. Early in his career, as an operational HR, he worked for Hewlett-Packard in the UK, then at the cutting edge of cultural change and sound leadership practice. A move into sales and marketing at HP led to a transfer to Australia in 1997; followed by consulting roles for Computer Associates and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Dave still advocates the benefits of many of these practices with one of his first moves at AIM has been to remove the walls of the Membership operation at AIM HQ where he sits with the team to facilitate open communication, vital in an operation that serves members.

In this book these principles have been laid out in the easiest way possible so now you can apply them in your life too.
