Empowering Leaders

This week on the Empowering Leaders Podcast, Luke is joined by Tania Obst, a true powerhouse of Australian netball. From her early days as a talented player to becoming the head coach of the reigning premiers Adelaide Thunderbirds, Tania’s passion for the game and her players is inspiring. Coming from a family of sporting legends, with her father, Trevor Obst, being a four-time premiership player with Port Adelaide, Tania has always been surrounded by resilience, strategy, and leadership.

In this episode, Tania shares her inspiring journey of leading the Adelaide Thunderbirds through a challenging period, taking over a team that had lost 23 games in a row and guiding them to win the last two championships. Tania talks about building a winning team culture, overcoming imposter syndrome, nurturing young talent, and the power of connection and collaboration. She also dives deep into self-leadership, maintaining a vision for success, and balancing work with personal life. Tania’s insights are invaluable for anyone in leadership or looking to thrive in any team environment.
