I’m Dominic O'Sullivan a Veteran RAF PTI who served for 15yrs from 1985-1999 and host of the NAAFI break podcast.
The podcast aims to shine a light on the transition process into a second career after the military, across all UK Armed Forces. Through the first series met a variety of people, that I describe as ‘Above Average Joes’ who have had very different transition journeys to their new career success. I truly believe in the talent that Military leavers have to offer Civilian Employers.
In this episode we look through a different lens, the view from the Employer. What’s it like having Military leavers alongside you?
I’d like to introduce you to Pat Lam, Director of Rugby at the Bristol Bears in the English Gallagher Premiership. Pat is a high performer, as a player who lifted Premiership titles with Newcastle Falcons, European Cup success at Northampton as well as 34 caps for Samoa and playing at 3 Rugby World Cups as a player. He was the RPA Players Player of the Year in 2000. He moved into coaching with Auckland in NZ and came to the Northern Hemisphere again to coach Connacht, winning the 2016 PRO12 title before arriving at Bristol Bears in 2019 and has already achieved European Challenge Cup success in 2020.
During his playing career he played alongside serving soldiers in the Professional Rugby ranks and currently has Siva Naulago a serving British Army soldier. He has first hand experience of military personnel.
I hope you will find some unique insights and understanding in this podcast.
Please share the podcast to your friends, family, colleagues. Grab a brew and enjoy NAAFI Break.
