David Parkin

Player, coach, administrator: David Parkin has seen Australian football from all three seats, and he brings a background in education on top of that. It gives him several ways of looking at how a group of people performs. His talks on leadership, motivation and teamwork carry those lessons from the field into the workplace, covering what leading people really asks of you and the habits that go with it. It's a natural booking for a leadership conference or a management offsite. He's based in Melbourne.
