Episode Synopsis

From being bullied at school and then in the workplace as an apprentice plumber, to running a $400 million per year capital program as the General Manager of Project Delivery at TasWater, Tony Willmott’s story is a powerful example of what can happen when you stop playing it safe.  As a child, Tony’s default response to conflict was avoidance or fighting to prove himself. That identity could have shaped his entire career, but when a serious back injury ended his plumbing career early, Tony had to chart a new path.  In this episode of Going Beyond the Predictable, we explore:  How avoidance showed up for Tony in life and leadership  Why our default identities don’t have to define us  We are never “ready” for the next thing - so why not get in a development gap, and find a way through? ---For more on In Your Corner, visit www.inyourcorner.co.nz or check us out on LinkedIn at https://nz.linkedin.com/company/in-your-corner-co-nz
