Rob Baxter, Head Coach, Exeter Chiefs
From Devon Life:
The atmosphere was buzzing at Exeter
Chiefs Rugby Club at Sandy Park in Devon when hugely successful
Head Coach Rob Baxter was interviewed by leading business coach
Judy Salmon at a private event in the presence of invited guests
from the business community. Following a welcome reception for
130 guests, Judy Salmon and Rob Baxter were introduced by Andrew
Maynard of Michelmores LLP. Rob revealed many ingredients of
his success with the Chiefs including a favourite key word which
helps to motivate the players: ‘ACE’ (attitude, commitment and
enjoyment) which later became ‘GRACE’ (graft, respect, attitude,
commitment and enjoyment). Guests present were also inspired
by Rob’s system of ‘hunting for highlights,’ which meant the
importance of celebrating success. This has particular relevance
to the business community. The evening ended with a fundraising
auction in aid of The Exeter Foundation, £1800 was raised.
Judy Salmon said, “As a local Business
Coach and Training Consultant I am always looking for inspiration
so that I can also help my clients. I was really thrilled that
Rob Baxter agreed to be interviewed by me so that I could share
his thoughts about how the Exeter Chiefs have become so successful.
It is a particularly challenging time for businesses at the moment
so I thought it would be a great opportunity to draw inspiration
from a local success story and we certainly did! I was also really
pleased to be working with my sponsors Knight Frank LLP, Arbuthnot
Latham & Co., Limited, and Northcott Beaton and grateful
to them for their support in making this event happen.”
Rob Baxter said, “I am delighted
to be working with Judy Salmon on this event to share my thoughts
about coaching with some members of the local business community
and to promote The Exeter Foundation, our new charity.”
Will Morrison, Head of Knight Frank
LLP, Exeter said, “It is not very often that the worlds of property,
rugby and professional business coaching come together and so
we were delighted to be joint hosts of what was a very informative
and unique evening brilliantly organised by Judy Salmon.”
Ian Scott, Regional Head of Wealth
Planning, Arbuthnot Latham & Co.,
Limited said, "To hear Judy Salmon interview Rob and find
out first-hand how he intended to continue invigorating the Chiefs
by investing in players and facilities was truly enlightening
and led to an entertaining evening for all. In addition, we
held an auction to raise funds for the Exeter Foundation – the
Foundation provides the city of Exeter and its surrounding areas
with a civic trust that promotes the community and pursues the
vision of people who live and work there – a very worthwhile
cause which Arbuthnot Latham & Co., Limited is happy to support."
Keiron Northcott of Northcott Beaton said, “Northcott Beaton
were very happy to get involved with Judy Salmon’s event because
we genuinely believe that the success of the Rugby Club and the
input of local boy Rob Baxter is, and should be, an inspiration
to everyone in and around Exeter.”
