In this episode, I welcome Paul Carney, Director of Sport and Active Health at Canterbury Christ Church University.
We have a fascinating conversation that dives deep into the lived experience of someone leading change, managing partnerships and making the case for sport across a University.
With a wealth of knowledge Paul tell's us how he ensures the core values of education are ingrained in what he and his team do on a daily basis. We'll also hear that when managing change, its important to be clear on the direction, clear on the need for change and then having the courage of your convictions to see it through.
We also discuss the importance of creating effective partnerships both internally and externally that are built on trust and an unwavering belief that above all else, 'people are the most important thing'.
