Welcome to Julianna.com.au Online accurate psychic readings

I interviewed Australian Rugby Legend Chris “Buddha” Handy a few months ago and am thrilled to bring you insights from this genuine, humble and extremely entertaining man.

Buddha was representing Australia in Rugby whilst holding down a full time job as an Accountant. Those were the days when to be a professional sportsman meant that you had to prove yourself on the field and work full time. The money was not given to you on the assumption you were talented and marketing and PR was non-existent.

For me Buddha is so vitally Australian - a quality and trait that I dearly take pride in. So as we discussed why he loved his sport so much and what he now thinks of the current sports management and behavior of players - all I could think was how Buddha made me realize that Australian men, in their authenticity and strength, leave us with a legacy that is far beyond what they ever intend.

You see, Buddha just wanted to have fun, support his mates and look after his family. He wanted something that would secure his and his family’s future. He is a devoted father, husband and grandfather with an incredible past. He is himself a history lesson in what it is to be a wonderful player, successful media personality and a well-loved larrikin. All of this is wrapped up in a keen mind, forthright personality and a love of getting to know who you are and what’s important to you as an individual.

What I significantly took from this interview, and have since not only shared with my son who plays soccer, but also with my business team, is the fact that:

• you can and must do what you and only you do well so that those around you trust you so much that they will always pass you the ball;
• you cannot worry about the opposition as you must always know you can trust your team;
• your strengths are yours and innate to you. With you focusing on this it allows you to be so strong, focused and proficient at what you do that all your team benefits.

This team may be your actual team, your work force, your family, your friends or your general environment. The key is to know what you are made of so that you are always able to hold up your end of the bargain. I love this.

With our One Day Values Workshop just around the corner on September 4 it is also timely that Buddha is so clear on his life values and he shares them with me in the interview. They are:

Honesty – be honest about your abilities and have humility in what you do;

Pride – you have to be proud of what you’re doing at the time, who you work with, the people you represent;

Passion – choose your time to step up to the plate to inject your extra level of effort;

Loyalty – always show it to your team and those around you once it’s been earned;

Professionalism – it’s important in the way that you prepare yourself for whatever you undertake;

Humour – show it and share it about winning, losing, friends and what life is all about.

Do you share these values? I’d love to hear what’s most important to you.
