Soul Pattinson and Co. Ltd, BUPA Global Board, BUPA ANZ Group and Rugby World Cup Ltd. He is also a Board Member of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Michael was previously the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Insurance Australia Group Ltd and Chairman of Australian Rugby Union. He represented Australia in rugby union, wearing the green and gold 25 times as well as being Vice-Captain of the Wallabies.<\/p>\n<p>In an engaging discussion, Michael takes us through his journey from being an elite athlete to the challenges he faced as CEO of one of Australia\u2019s most respected organisations. He talks to us about the changing landscapes in global perspectives and the complexities and disruptions at play through the lens of an international Board Director.<\/p>\n<p>Michael and Greg discuss leadership, particularly in a time of crisis and ambiguity, the conviction required in making the difficult decisions and stepping up when presented with the opportunity. Michael recalls the important moments in his career and why life is walking through a door.<\/p>\n<p>Note: This podcast was recorded on 19th March 2020.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; style=&#8221;dark&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>listen also on<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;accent&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;4&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; limit_content=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;88338&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-t-top&#8221; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fepisode%2F2TOwDIZujim4UNT26WfyYk%3Fsi%3DSP-BYTZFROCd5cUjsq1QPw|target:_blank&#8221; el_class=&#8221;img-media-watch&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;117974&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-t-top&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;100&#8243; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGik8NxSCPWQ%26list%3DPLQZ-dkpAAUFRPQt9tcpKhuET2pUFtDlhv%26index%3D29|target:_blank&#8221; el_class=&#8221;img-media-watch&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;925396&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;117975&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-t-top&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;200&#8243; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stitcher.com%2Fshow%2Fno-limitations%2Fepisode%2Flife-is-walking-through-a-door-michael-hawker-am-69225966|target:_blank&#8221; el_class=&#8221;img-media-watch&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;123465&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;88335&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-t-top&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;300&#8243; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fau%2Fpodcast%2Flife-is-walking-through-a-door-michael-hawker-am%2Fid1378520443%3Fi%3D1000473046016|target:_blank&#8221; el_class=&#8221;img-media-watch&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Non-Executive Director, Macquarie Group Ltd and Washington H.
