What Anthony Seibold learnt from Matt Comyn, coping with pressure and why ‘she’ll be right’ is BS

Akubra chief executive Natalie Culina has over 20 years working with some of the most recognised and iconic Australian brands.

When managing imposter syndrome she says that "you cannot forget that you have to master a skill in something, have to have a black belt in something. And that's something that you can always reach down into your core to draw upon". When she did, it faded away.

On this week's episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten sits down with Culina to find out who is in her inner circle, how she overcame imposter syndrome and the one reason she will interrupt a meeting.

Sam Nickless, chief executive of Gilbert +Tobin, says young lawyers and executives have more control over their time than they think.

How this CEO shook off imposter syndrome

Jellis Craig chief executive Andrew McCann has been a real estate agent for almost 30 years, and he reckons "this is one of the worst markets" he's ever seen.

"It's very hard for vendors to adjust to price changes, and it's very hard sometimes for agents to pick up the pace of change," he says. "And because of that, it's a challenging environment to navigate."

On this week's episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten sits down with the real estate boss to find out how he is navigating the property downturn, the effect it's having on staff and whether he expects it to change any time soon.
