You touched on Rob as a mentor and athletes loving feedback.
It's always real time and it's served up straight and athletes respond to that as you you rightly told us.
Is there any feedback that Rob has given you that that you can share?
You know, when you're thinking about great coaching, giving great feedback, either him as the executive chair or now as your chair, what kind of feedback does he give you and and how do you receive that?
It's interesting because I think people confuse reflection and celebration sometimes and reflection cycles in sport are daily.
Yeah.
And in business, they often happen around results or moments.
How have you thought about bringing deliberate reflections into generation in terms of as a practice to ensure that people are improving and getting better?
I'm curious what you had to unlearn perhaps.
What did you have to stop doing that had previously made you great in the pool that may have cost you in leadership?
You know, if I think about my own journey, even talking about feedback, I probably had to unlearn how to deliver feedback too directly, for instance, or or be more empathetic.
Um what are the traits that don't necessarily cross over to your role?
as a CEO that that made you a great swimmer.
You touched on trust there.
You've done some acquisitions.
You you talked about the importance of having the same values and cultural implications with those businesses.
But you came from environment sport where trust is built very quickly and it goes from zero to a hundred just by the very nature of what you are trying to achieve together.
Often in business that needs to be built up over time.
So I guess as a leader, how do you think about
regaining or building trust in situations that might need some time to get there, but you need to do it quickly.
