Last week at a luncheon, a few old mates (Denis Pagan, Dr Harry Unglik & Wayne Carey) of the North Melbourne FC 1996 Premiership Team gathered to celebrate Corey McKernan’s 50th birthday. The occasion turned into a journey through time, revisiting football victories, pivotal moments, fun times, resilience and the development of life principles forged over the past 25 years. Conversations shifted to nostalgic reflections as memories flowed, victories were recounted and the challenging times that have been life shaping. The parallels between past sporting principles and present-day realities became evident. The key messages that resonated were the importance of principles like accountability, discipline, hard work, belonging and the need for a vision. All proving to be pivotal for their success at the time. The notion of vision emerged as a significant aspect of this success and a driving force in sport, business and life. The celebration transformed into a living testament to the enduring nature of these principles, living philosophies which shaped their journeys. Corey's 50th became a tribute to the wisdom that binds them, a celebration of timeless lessons learned on the field and translating into life. #highperformance #teamsuccess #teamculture

The future faces of baseball operation management are right here.

They only happen a few times per year, but when they do, they give us a valuable reminder. And they’re incredibly exciting. I’m talking about inside-the-park home runs. Most homers happen when a hitter crushes the ball over the fence. But sometimes it doesn’t need to go that far. Sometimes a player manages to round every base and beat the throw home. Speed plays a role, but there are many other variables at play. You have to hit the ball into the perfect location, and your third base coach needs to have both the vision and the trust to send you home. Then there are the variables you can’t control, such as the outfielder’s arm strength, the accuracy of the throw, and just plain luck. That’s why these plays are so rare — and why they hold value far outside the world of sports. Inside-the-park homers remind us that truly fantastic and unforgettable moments are only possible when you have a strong foundation: A foundation built on hard work, talent and great communication. And yes, a bit of luck never hurts! #leadership #teamwork #collaboration
