CEO Conversations
across
​Asia-Pacific

Vertical Divider
thrive2030 is an exercise in future-scaping. It is a series of Conversations with CEOs and board members from across Asia-Pacific and the Pacific Rim, about how to survive the pandemic and thrive to 2030. The aim, like in my book Stepping Up, is to search for answers to share with you.

During these conversations you will:
  • discover what 'brave' leadership looks like
  • hear how COVID has changed people, businesses, communities, cities and nations
  • hear how to navigate in continued global change and uncertainty
  • get ideas about growing your business across Asia-Pacific
  • move beyond the pandemic and explore how to thrive in 2030

Listen to the latest CEO Conversation below
Pamela Young talks with Robbie McRobbie, CEO, Hong Kong Rugby Union, Hong Kong, China.
Robbie gives a follow-up interview to share how the Hong Kong Rugby Union returned to fame and fortune after three years of cancelled Rugby 7s tournaments.
In his interview with Pamela in 2021, Robbie explained that their main event - the international Rugby 7s tournament - produced 95% of the Unions revenues and that with lockdowns causing cancellations over several years, the business was facing dire times. With two Rugby 7s tournaments having just been completed in 6 months, Pamela reached out to Robbie for an update. In this video, Robbie shares his lowest moments, challenges, mistakes and lessons...before outlining the wonderful and 'emotional moments' of the Rugby 7s 'come back'  and the ongoing culture shaping that is required as he rebuilds his team.

by Pamela Young

Stepping Up helps leaders remove obstacles that limit people of all races and gender from reaching their full productivity and performance.
