Resilience Under Pressure: Lessons in Leadership and Life with Phil Gould

Summary

Wide Bay Branch of CPA Australia in conjunction with Rotary Club of Bundaberg Central presents Phil Gould speaking on Resilience Under Pressure: Lessons in Leadership and Life.

In professional life, setbacks, pressure and uncertainty are inevitable. What separates people and organisations is often not whether they experience adversity, but how they respond to it.

Drawing on a remarkable career across rugby league as a player, coach, administrator and commentator, Phil Gould will share personal experiences and lessons from some of the most challenging and high-pressure environments in Australian sport.

With his trademark honesty, perspective and storytelling, Phil will explore what it takes to remain resilient when expectations are high, circumstances change and things don't go according to plan.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to identify practical strategies for maintaining resilience, making effective decisions under pressure, adapting to setbacks and uncertainty, and applying leadership lessons to challenging situations in their professional accounting roles.

Phil Gould

Phil “Gus” Gould AM is one of the most recognisable and respected figures in Australian rugby league, with a distinguished career spanning playing, coaching, leadership, administration and media.

Beginning his career in Western Sydney, Phil went on to play first-grade rugby league before establishing himself as a highly successful coach. He guided Canterbury Bankstown to the 1988 premiership and Penrith to their historic first premiership in 1991. Phil also coached the NSW State of Origin team across two periods, winning six series and cementing his place as the Blues’ most successful coach.

Beyond the sporting arena, Phil has held senior leadership and football administration roles with the Penrith Panthers and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, while becoming a familiar and influential voice through his work across television, radio and journalism. Throughout his career, he has experienced the highs and lows of elite sport and leadership, providing him with a unique perspective on resilience, pressure, setbacks, culture and the importance of people.

For Phil, resilience is not simply about overcoming adversity, it is about how we respond when circumstances don't go according to plan, how we learn from setbacks, and how we continue to move forward with purpose and perspective.
