Donna Kennedy | Beyond the Pitch | What Rugby Teaches Us About Property Management

Beyond Four Walls - With Jodie Fraser

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Donna Kennedy, Scotland’s most-capped female rugby player, to explore how her remarkable career on the rugby field holds powerful lessons for the world of property management. From overcoming adversity in a male-dominated sport to leading teams under intense pressure, Donna shares the mindset, grit, and leadership tools that helped her build a legacy in sport—and how those same traits can empower property professionals.

We dive into:

• Breaking barriers as a woman in rugby and in business
• Building resilience through setbacks
• The power of leadership and collaboration
• Managing pressure and staying composed
• Creating a lasting impact in your industry

Whether you’re leading a team, managing difficult clients, or striving to grow in your career, this episode will leave you feeling energised and empowered. Donna’s story is a powerful reminder that courage and consistency go a long way—on the pitch and beyond four walls.
