Westpac Smarts | Richie McCaw
A sold-out crowd packed Invercargill’s Civic Theatre for an unforgettable fireside chat with All Blacks legend Richie McCaw. Richie shared invaluable insights on leadership, resilience, and coolness under pressure, leaving us with two powerful takeaways: “Talk realistic rather than optimistic” and “Live today like how you want to be remembered.”
Special thanks to our MC, Paddy O’Brien, international rugby referee, who shared the stage as Richie’s equal, bringing humor and insightful referee/player banter to the discussion. A big thank you also to Sheree Carey, CEO of the Southland Business Chamber, for steering the conversation with a focus on leadership and business.
This inspiring event, proudly brought to Southland by Westpac NZ, as part of the Westpac Smarts series hosted by the Southland Business Chamber, was a masterclass in turning sporting lessons into real-world impact. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the incredible atmosphere and opportunity to hear from one of New Zealands greatest leaders.
