This week we’re joined by Scott Parkinson, Head Assistant Coach at Seattle Reign FC in the US National Women’s Soccer League.

In this episode, Scott reflects on his career in high performance sport, and the huge impact working in women’s football has had on his life, leadership, and the way he approaches feedback and communication. You’ll also hear about his passion for championing women in sport, and why creating opportunities for others has become such an integral part of his leadership.

Scott explains why authenticity is a leadership superpower, how genuine human connection unlocks the best in yourself and others, and why treating people fairly doesn't always mean treating them the same.

There’s also Scott’s brilliant take on the Aleda Connect program as a form of ‘professional self-care’, and the childhood lesson from his grandfather that taught him why fairness, not winning, is the greatest victory of all.
