MENTAL TOUGHNESS – THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN LIFE AND IN WORK.
A STUDY IN CONTENTMENT AND STRIVING TO BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE. PART ONE
Our guest for this podcast is someone who, by any standards can be described as having lived a successful and fulfilling life and yet started his life pretty much at the same place as most people.
Neil Scales OBE is Director General for the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads in Australia managing a budget of more than $10 billion. Before this, he was CEO of Merseytravel in the UK. Both roles carry huge responsibilities and accountabilities.
Neil's career begins as an engineering apprentice in the North East of England.
In part one, Neil describes his journey through life and how his resilience and positivity have enabled him to thrive. Never one to shirk a challenge, he talks about the importance of leadership on his journey as well as the idea that you can never stop learning.
This is a very accessible and down-to-earth exploration of what success means through the eyes of one of the most reflective people we know.
We have had the privilege of knowing and working with Neil for 25 years. He is very grounded and there is much to learn from his approach and his experiences.
