Testimonials for Nick Maxwell

“I don’t think it is overstating things to say that Maxy redefined what it means to be a leader in the AFL in the 21st century. He was a wonderful captain and leader, a shrewd tactician and teak tough. Above all, though, he was a reminder of what is possible to achieve in football, and in life.”

Gary Pert, CEO Collingwood Football Club

We had the pleasure of having Nick Maxwell present to our key clients and talk on his AFL journey and how he developed his renowned leadership skills.

Nick’s discussion was insightful, candid and resonated very clearly with the audience who were not all Collingwood supporters. Nick was an absolute champion on the football field and his ability to translate his football skills, team leadership and spirit into the Corporate Boardroom is a revelation.

It is clear why the current CEO of the Collingwood Football Club indicated that Nick is the next CEO elect of Collingwood.

Nick is engaging and warm as he shares insights on goal setting, motivation, and perseverance in his AFL journey. These qualities especially his perseverance culminated in being a Premiership Captain in 2010.

We would not hesitate to have Nick speak at a function again and we can thoroughly recommend Nick as a distinguished and thought provoking speaker.

We recently asked Nick to come and speak at a business networking function and it was one of the most inspiring stories of persistence I have heard.

There were many successful business professionals in the room that were fascinated listening to the ups and downs and the hard work and dedication required for Nick to eventually achieve the success he did in the AFL. 

The feedback was very positive and people were able draw motivation from his story and relate it to their own business. As leaders in our own businesses, we were able to gain a very useful insight into some of the leadership techniques that Nick used to help lead Collingwood to a premiership.  I was able to take some of these and use them in my own business.
