Come to Play"Just be a good person, Cameron."I have put myself back 'In the Arena', this time on the other side of the podcast desk.Soon, I found myself having a conversation I had never had.This is not a coincidence. My inquisitor is Andrew Horsfield, who is well experienced in drawing out the conversation we need to have. He has his own podcast, the wonderfully named "The Messy Middle." He is thoughtful, generous, and courageous, and this conversation would come with these expectations."Let's make this good", was the clear understanding I had after chatting through the prospect of him hosting me on my podcast.Andrew knows there is little value in the 'known/spoken' dialogue that dominates most of our conversations, but offers nothing by way of solution to the challenges leaders face. We quickly move into the 'known/unspoken' that leaders need to have, mostly avoid, but we are are pleased when we do, and over time, a place I have been prepared to go, as have many of the guests 'In the Arena'.But there is another level it can go, and we did.A new conversation, joining of dots, questioning of beliefs, challenging of ideas, minds ticking, knowing that it would be recorded and offered to the world with all of its uncertainty.These are the best conversations.Notebook ready!Play on!

Today's conversation is one of those deep dives into leadership, resilience, and navigating the complexities of life—whether that's on the farm, in the boardroom, or out on the footy field.    Joining me is Cameron Schwab, a man who, at just 24, stepped into the CEO role of an elite AFL club, and over the years has learned not only what leadership demands of us but how it shapes us.    Cameron is the real deal—a thinker, a mentor, and someone who's walked the path of success, failure, and reinvention. Now founder and CEO of designCEO, Cameron leverages his extensive leadership experience in professional sport and business to mentor and support CEOs, senior and emerging leaders, and their organisations across various industry sectors. You can find more information about Cameron and his offerings on his website here.    In this episode, we unpack what it takes to show up as a leader when the pressure's on, how to navigate those “what am I doing here?” moments, and why the quiet, reflective times when no one's watching might just be the most important moments of all.    Cameron's insights, from his experiences in elite sports to his work now coaching leaders across business and community, are so relatable and deeply impactful.   We explore what it means to create the right conditions for people to thrive, how to reframe your story when it's holding you back, and why leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about showing up with courage, humility, and a deep sense of purpose.    I hope you enjoy as we dive into this thoughtful and inspiring conversation.    Cameron, thank you for sharing your wisdom, heart, and valuable practical tools that we can all takeaway.     Sincerely,   Hutch     P.S    

In this episode of Stronger Sales Teams, Ben Wright continues his insightful discussion with Cameron Schwab, a transformational leader and the driving force behind Design CEO. Cameron delves into essential themes such as the significance of a personal leadership brand and the pivotal role of accountability in enhancing team performance. He introduces the concept of “Lift, Shift, Challenge,” which provides a structured methodology for nurturing connection, improving capabilities, and developing character within teams. Cameron underscores the importance of defining reality and instilling hope as fundamental leadership strategies that can facilitate sustained growth and resilience, even amid adversity. About the Guest: Cameron Schwab is a prominent figure in sports management, widely recognised for his tenure as CEO of several AFL clubs, including Melbourne, Richmond, and Fremantle. He began his career as a recruiter for the Melbourne Football Club and made history as the youngest CEO of an AFL club at just 24 years old. Beyond his impressive achievements in sports, Cameron is also a talented artist currently pursuing Fine Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts. Additionally, he founded Design CEO, a consultancy dedicated to leadership and team development, showcasing his commitment to fostering effective leadership in various contexts. Key Takeaways: Establishing a personal leadership trademark that guides your behaviour and decision-making can significantly influence your effectiveness as a leader. Using the framework of storytelling (Lift), implementing actionable ideas (Shift), and challenging oneself (Challenge) fosters a culture of accountability and performance. Successful leaders define the current reality with clarity and offer actionable hope to inspire progress and resilience within their teams. Techniques such as Cameron's "Easy, Tiger" mantra can help leaders maintain composure and make thoughtful decisions under pressure. Simplifying complex situations and focusing on core priorities ("Simplify", to "Amplify") can help drive meaningful and impactful actions.

In this episode of the Stronger Sales Team Podcast, host Ben Wright explores the complex realm of leadership and team management with Cameron Schwab, a distinguished figure in the Australian Football League (AFL) and an accomplished corporate leader. Cameron offers valuable insights drawn from his extensive career, which included several challenging roles as CEO of various AFL clubs. The conversation centres on the fundamental attributes of leadership, the necessity of maintaining self-composure in challenging circumstances, and the significant influence of personal integrity and awareness in navigating teams through adversity. About the Guest: Cameron Schwab is a prominent figure in sports management, widely recognised for his tenure as CEO of several AFL clubs, including Melbourne, Richmond, and Fremantle. He began his career as a recruiter for the Melbourne Football Club and made history as the youngest CEO of an AFL club at just 24 years old. Beyond his impressive achievements in sports, Cameron is also a talented artist currently pursuing Fine Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts. Additionally, he founded DesignCEO, a consultancy dedicated to leadership and team development, showcasing his commitment to fostering effective leadership in various contexts. Key Takeaways: Cameron Schwab highlights a technique where he writes down what each moment in a negotiation or a meeting requires from him, focusing on traits like calmness, humility, kindness, and bravery. Leadership is about managing the most challenging and ambiguous situations effectively, not just about fulfilling a role. The impact of having strong, insightful support systems—like family or mentors—during tough times can profoundly affect a leader's performance and mindset. Building relationships that combine personal integrity with insightful advice can create meaningful, productive support networks. Maintaining a balance between professional demands and personal wellbeing is crucial for sustained leadership effectiveness.

Just remember, you asked for it! Moments of uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity are the uncomfortable leadership moments, and what you signed up for.The discomfort of not knowing. These are the times when leadership is most needed, your leadership, and in fact, if not for these conditions, you may well be doing someone else's job for them. Learning how to be comfortable with the discomfort of the role. “You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf', said Jon Kabat Zinn, perhaps my favourite ever leadership quote. Our first guest ‘In the Arena' is Michael Voss, three-time AFL Premiership Captain of the Brisbane Lions and the Senior Coach of the historic Carlton Football Club. As a member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame, Michael Voss would feature near the top of most football pundits' ‘greatest ever' lists, elevated not only for his sublime talent but also for his capacity to exert his will on the game and the teams he led. A career in coaching beckoned, and so it was, stepping up as Senior Coach of his beloved Brisbane Lions, forgoing the assistant coaching ‘apprenticeship' that has become the practice over the past few decades. But it did not play to script, and five years later, he was dismissed from the role. But this setback was merely a lesson and one of the many for a leader who is determined to be the best he can be for the people he gets to influence on their own journeys. It was seven years as an Assistant Coach at the Port Adelaide Football Club before he would get the opportunity to once again be ‘In the Arena' as the Senior Coach of Carlton, now into his third season, taking them deep into the 2023 final series (after a rocky period of six straight losses) in just his second season, their first finals appearance in a decade. One thing that separates the most impressive and influential leaders I have worked with is their willingness to embrace reflective learning and generously share their lessons and insights. This makes Michael Voss a great football coach, leader, and super podcast guest, hence our decision to lead off the first episode of ‘In the Arena'. The conversation also benefits from our personal relationship. A couple of years ago, Michael sought support in his role, and I have been his coach, focusing on leadership, the mechanics and dynamics of a layered and complex role, all playing out in the public eye as coach of one of the biggest clubs in the country. I must say, he is highly coachable, as you will experience listening to this podcast. There are many layers to this conversation. Yes, the insights are invaluable, but you will also sense the principles he leads, be it his generosity, humility, and a sense of purpose, while acknowledging his role's impact on the players he coaches and the club he leads. He genuinely embraces his old coach Leigh Matthews' mantra of: - Know your role- Accept your role- Play your role He will have you reaching for a pen and paper, jotting down the ideas and thoughts of a leader and teacher who has ‘done the work', and challenging you to do likewise.Episode #001 is a leadership masterclass, and we are so grateful to have the opportunity to share it with you. You're going to love this. Play On! Cameron Schwab

Turns out that Cameron Schwab and I have a few things in common; (1) we were born in the same year (2) we're both fascinated with human potential and high-performance (3) we've both worked at AFL clubs (him in much more important roles than me) (4) we've both dealt with ongoing self-doubt and imposter syndrome (5) we've both led big teams/groups and (6) we've both felt (and maybe, been) wildly out of our depth, while trying to appear totally in control (lol). In a nutshell, two average blokes trying to do better than average.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Among other things, Cameron Schwab has been the CEO of Richmond, Melbourne and Fremantle Football Clubs. In 1988, he became the youngest CEO in VFL/AFL history at the ripe old age of 24 (at Richmond FC). This time around, Cameron and I chat about giving and receiving feedback, interpreting the 'data' in your life, turning the theory of success into a sustainable practice, his current work coaching Carlton coach Michael Voss (coaching the coach), the prevalence of successful people feeling like failures and frauds, the potential emotional and psychological letdown after we achieve a goal (what now?) and lots more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cameron Schwab has been through a lot: losing his father, being publicly sacked as a CEO twice, clinical depression and being diagnosed with cancer. Cameron was CEO of the famous Richmond Football Club at 24, the youngest in the history of the Australian Football League, and spent the next 25 years as the CEO of three AFL clubs, the second longest-serving CEO in the modern game. All the CEO roles he took on had something in common… the clubs were at their lowest ebb, uncompetitive on the field, and facing massive financial challenges. He saw it through, found success, and now takes that deep experience in leadership in professional sports and business to mentor CEO's.   LINKS   Cameron Schwab https://www.designceo.com.au   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2023 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

Today we spoke with Cameron Schwab - CEO for 25 years in AFL, Leadership mentor and Founder Design CEO Cameron had the most impressive studio we have seen - a fireplace, AFL memorabilia and a classy ambience; it gave an inside peek into the world of Cameron…class, and quality. Cameron, an artist, storyteller, and writer, has been a CEO for 25 years with experience with Melbourne Football Club, Richmond, Fremantle Dockers - and leading the AFL also as CEO. His company, Design CEO, a leadership and strategy business, focuses on helping leaders navigate the hardships and ambiguity of modern leadership. Cameron, a graduate of Harvard Business School today spoke about being a leader, rather than doing, and what it was like holding the role of CEO at the age of 24, the youngest to hold this position in AFL history. He proclaims to “never forget how hard it is”…the travails of a leader, and Cameron opened up for us, displaying remarkable vulnerability - unpacking the lessons of being a father to a trans child, broken families, and having had mental health challenges himself. He spoke about how the hard moments define us, his leadership equation, what he looks for in people, aptitude - and why being in your element is massively important. Highlights

Imagine being the CEO of numerous famous sporting clubs while silently (and secretly) dealing with ongoing depression. Well, that was Cam Schwab's reality for decades. At 24, Cam became the youngest ever CEO of a VFL/AFL club when he took the helm of Richmond for six years. He would later go on to fill the same role (CEO) at both the Fremantle and Melbourne Football Clubs. Every time Cam and I get together, we get lost down the conversational and philosophical rabbit hole but have fun doing it. This was no exception.

In the first edition of our 'What If...?' segment, Sam Hargreaves relives the 2001 AFL 'superdraft' and asks ex-Fremantle CEO Cameron Schwab and former Hawthorn coach Peter Schwab, 'what if the Dockers and Hawks didn't complete their 2001 trade deal (for pick No.1)?'

In this episode of the ‘Making It Count' podcast, we sit down with Founder and CEO of Design CEO, Cameron Schwab. Cameron is a CEO, leadership coach and strategist. He works with CEOs and emerging leaders to achieve high levels of trust – personally, culturally, strategically and organisationally – as the basis of high performance. He is a legacy-focused leader who has bounced back from setbacks, taking on the sport's most challenging leadership roles. At age 24, Cameron was the youngest CEO and shares some of his experiences from this time. He grew up “the son of” the executive commissioner of the AFL, and followed in his father's footsteps. ‘I was able to see the game and it's multiple layers early on – both the good and the bad' says Cameron.  So, if he could tell his younger self one thing what would it be? ‘If you get to understand what truly matters you get to enjoy what seems to matter' says Cameron, ‘it's taken me a long time to work out that difference'.  Due to COVID, over the last 2 years priorities globally have changed. ‘The role of any leader at any time is asking what environment do I need to create which gives us the best opportunity for the best outcomes, while helping my team grow and evolve as humans.' We discuss ‘reflective competency' and Cameron explains to us this concept. ‘You need to build a practice of reflection. It doesn't feel productive but it is crucial.'   ‘We learn from each other's learnings and that is one of the critical elements of sport but, it has to be delivered right' says Cameron. He discusses the productive struggle - the need for deeper reflection in our lives which, all comes back to acknowledging and processing how we feel. ‘It's about dealing with emotions in a healthy way – and that comes back to the environment we seek to create as leaders' says Cameron. ‘Therefore, we need to create environments where self-expression and joy prevail' Stop talking and start teaching is one of Cameron's mottos. ‘Teaching is unapologetically about how we grow the individual, whereas coaching is about growing the team' says Cameron, ‘but, in the end, it comes down to my capacity to build a relationship with you.'  Cameron strongly believes this is the most important aspect of leadership.  Cameron concludes, ‘Making it count, for me, is taking important conversations forward. It's about how we shape the next conversation in a way which is different to how it has always been shaped. Women's football is a good example of that.'   So, sit back and enjoy this episode as Cameron Schwab Makes It Count.

One of the biggest differences between professional football and business is football's focus on talent and teaching. As an AFL CEO for close to 25 years, Cameron Schwab saw first-hand how elite sport focuses almost entirely on the players and how they work together. Cameron, founder and CEO of designCEO, reckons that a lot of business leaders don't go deep enough to improve the performance of their talent.

Ex Richmond (Melbourne, Fremantle) football club(s) CEO Cameron Schwab is back and this time, he and Craig talk about what it takes to succeed and what we can learn from those who find a way to perform at the highest level (it's about much more than talent and genetics). They also discuss the lessons and lightbulbs in the new(ish) Netflix Documentary Series ‘The Last Dance', the value and power of being adaptable, herding cats, the complexity of managing and leading elite athletes, whether or not we can be simultaneously satisfied and ambitious and Cam gives us a health update following his recent surgery for prostate cancer. We love Cam. Enjoy.designceo.com.au

Former Richmond, Fremantle and Melbourne FC CEO and TYP favourite, Cameron Schwab returns to chat with us about his recent cancer diagnosis and subsequent journey. On February 14, Cam was diagnosed with prostate cancer and on February 23, he spoke at our TYP conference knowing that the next day he would find out whether or not the cancer had spread through his body. I won't tell you the rest of the story (you'll have to listen) but I will tell you that I love the way Cam thinks, teaches and shares so authentically. This was a very thoughtful conversation. PS. Apologies for the poor audio quality on my microphone. Getting a new one tomorrow. Won't happen again.designceo.com.au

Whether you follow the AFL, NRL, Rugby, Netball, Soccer or something else, there is no doubt at some point in your youth that you played your favourite sport and maybe even aspired to play in the big league.As a kid I grew up playing NRL and even played a couple games for the Bulldogs in the first year of reps you do in the under 15’s. It had an impact on my life for sure and solidified my love of not just NRL but for sport in general.Our guest today has been at the heart of AFL for more than 30 years and if you recognised his name as an AFL fan you’d know Schwabby as the CEO of Richmond, Fremantle, Melbourne and also as the CEO of the AFL.Cam has had more experience than most in not only leading teams on the field but running successful footy clubs.Some would argue that AFL is a the very heart of Victorian culture and you can see that from just how many people turn out to the games every weekend.

Cameron Schwab became the youngest CEO ever in the Australian Football League when he joined Richmond in 1988. He spent 25 years of his career as a CEO of three different clubs, and there was one thing in common across the board: the clubs were all at their lowest ebb, uncompetitive on the field, and facing massive financial challenges. He now takes his deep experience in leadership in sport and business to mentoring CEOs and senior leaders to build high levels of cultural and strategic direction.  When someone meets Cameron and asks what he does, how does he like to reply? What's the most critical question a corporate leader can ask themselves? Has Cameron learnt a process for the debrief after a business win or loss? It is not a competition of teams; it's a competition of systems. What is the system? The CEO should be the best person to read the play; how do we build that skill?  How did Cameron go about creating a shared team ethos from the field to the office?  How did Cameron deal with the dark times when sacked as a CEO of Melbourne? The power of vulnerability. Allan Jeans said to Cameron, "find something." What did Cameron find?  What does Cameron write at the top of his journal each day?  What would Cameron say to himself as a young CEO at Richmond back in 1988? One of Cameron's favourite quotes is by author David Whyte, "If your eyes are tired, the world looks tired also." What is the essential characteristic Cameron would look for in a recruit, and how would he establish they have it?

In this episode of TYP, Cameron Schwab (former Richmond, Fremantle and Melbourne Football Club CEO) returns and he and Craig explore the fundamentals of communication, connection, emotional intelligence and effective leadership in business, sport, parenting and life.

LEADERSHIP: CHANGE: CULTURE: TRUSTAt 24 Cameron Schwab was the youngest CEO ever at a footy club – and some 11 years later he was very publicly sacked as CEO of another. The his and lows of a career set in the elite world of AFL - and all the terrain in between, forms the basis of this very focussed speaker. “Lead in a way that it true to you”. “Recognise that as a leader you are a teacher.” “Lift people to shift people” And the lesson he learnt about picking oneself up after a fall, is probably the deepest of all. And watch out for his 3 rules of feedback. They’re a beauty.For more information on Cameron Schwab please visit www.designceo.com.au

At 18, Cameron Schwab was an office boy at Melbourne Football Club and six years later (at 24), he was the CEO of one of Australia's most famous sporting teams; the Richmond Football Club. Cameron's amazing journey saw him at the helm of three AFL clubs (Richmond, Melbourne and Fremantle) for a total of 25 years and in this enthralling conversation, he and Craig explore everything from leadership, experiential learning, emotional intelligence, identity and winning, to purpose, self-management, happiness and the importance of family.

In 1993 the proud Richmond Football Club was at its lowest ebb. A tenth straight year of mediocrity hit Tigerland that year. Cameron Schwab was at the helm, just 29 years of age but already a veteran in the job of General Manager – financial crisis and merger talk had been a way of life around the club for a number of years.  Amongst the struggle of breaking the Tigers woeful form cycle, 1993 saw Cameron deal with the saddest time of his life, the death of his father Alan, the number 2 man at AFL HQ – a tragic story that was to cast a giant shadow over the AFL season. But there was light too, a Fosters Cup Grand Final , the appointment of John Northey as coach and the arrival of a young kid from Devonport meant the Tigers would never be this bad again.   The Greatest Season That Was: 93 documents our contention that in 1993, footy was never better. Hosted by Adam Collins, Dan Brettig and Shannon Gill, this series is an in-depth exploration of one amazing season.  The Greatest Season That Was: 93 is produced by Jay Mueller and edited by Thom Lion.
