Cody Royle ~ The Tough Stuff

I met Cody at HR Disrupt evening in Edinburgh 2019 where we both spoke. We went for a meal afterwards, found a lot of mutual ground and kept in touch, chatting, exchanging tweets etc.  Cody then kindly invited me on his podcast, Where Others Won't with Prof Stephen Rollnick of Motivational Interviewing fame. WOW is  an award-nominated podcast that brings together thinkers and practitioners from sports, business, and academia to detail the leadership and culture secrets of the world's best teams. He has had some awesome guests! Cody is the head coach of Canada’s national men’s AFL program -- he is an Aussie in Toronto. For the past 10 years Cody has been writing about how leadership, culture, and organisational dynamics contribute to competitive advantage.  In this chat we explore Cody's passion for coaching, his approach, his vulnerability, the importance of asking for help when he needed support facing one of his greatest challenges, Arsenal and more. What comes over is a thinking, caring, dedicated individual who most definitely encourages others to be their best.
