Our Name
The rivalry between the New Zealand All Blacks and the Australian Wallabies in international rugby is the stuff of enduring pride and passion between the two nations spanning decades.
During his time as captain of the Australian Wallabies, Nathan Sharpe knew only too well the demands of high-performance team membership and leadership, and the meaningful impact it has on the outcome or result of the game.
The Wallabies knew, if you took the opposition’s Talisman down, the balance of the team would fall apart.
As the All Blacks became increasingly formidable in the 2000’s – in what is now legendary status in the annuls of international sporting folk law and the subject of numerous team leadership case studies – the question emerged through their performances: what if a team is made up of more than one talismanic leader? The answer is obvious, the team becomes elite just as the All Blacks were.
Talisman is anchored on this key premise – the development of a team of Talisman. Not just a single key player, rather a team of key players all capable of leading, inspiring and enhancing the performance of the team.
