How to Keep Your Reputation Intact When Your Industry Is Under Fire feat. Paul Nicolaou
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we’re joined by Paul Nicolaou, Executive Director of Business Sydney and one of Australia’s most well-known business advocates and community champions.
With a career spanning political fundraising, leading the Australian Hotels Association through the lockout law era, and national advocacy at the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Paul brings decades of hard-won experience to every conversation.
During our discussion, we explored what it means to build a personal brand when the roles you hold are controversial, why putting other people first is the most powerful branding strategy of all, and how Paul led businesses through the COVID-19 crisis with 232 Zoom sessions featuring Australia’s most senior political leaders.
Paul also reflects on the values instilled by his parents, the importance of knowing what you’d walk away from, and why Australia — the golden ticket — gives all of us both the privilege and the responsibility to contribute. This episode is a powerful conversation about purpose-driven leadership, legacy, and what it truly means to love your city and your country.
