JOHN HAS COACHED ALONGSIDE
John Buchanan is regarded as one of the most successful international sports coaches in history. From this background, he translates the deep insights of peak performance on the sports field into winning behaviours and actions in the business arena.
John began his cricketing career playing for Queensland in 1978–79. He began his coaching career in England where he was player/coach/professional for Oldham in Central Lancashire league as well as Cambridgeshire in Minor Counties 1978 and 1979. Oldham won the League and Cup double in 1979 which was the first time in over 40 years.
Prior to his appointment as Australian head coach, he had five successful years as the coach of Queensland, during which time they won two Sheffield Shield titles, including the first in the state’s history in 1994–95, and two Mercantile Mutual Cup titles. He also coached Middlesex in 1998.
John was appointed as Australian men’s national coach in October 1999 and his results were very impressive, helping steer the team to unprecedented success.
Along with former captain Ricky Ponting, John led the side to numerous successes, including a world-record 16 consecutive Test match victories, 21 consecutive ODI wins twice and an undefeated World Cup winning record of 23 wins and 2 World Cups 2003 and 2007.
Included in this phenomenal record was the 2002–03 Ashes domination, winning both series 4–1, the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup in South Africa, the 2004 tour of India, in which Australia hadn’t won a series there in thirty-six years.
In late 2006 he helped the team to their first ever ICC Champions Trophy victory, after four previously failed attempts and followed this with a 5–0 whitewash win in the 2006–07 Ashes Series, the first since the 1920–21 Series. In 2007 his team won their third consecutive world cup. In a very traditional world, his methods have sometimes been seen as unorthodox but former captain Ponting has credited him as being one of the important reasons why Australia completed their World Cup hat trick of wins.
COVID has changed and will continue to change the world we live and work in. It is a challenge for leaders navigating their way through the impacts now, and next, positioning the business to be market dominant into the future. It is also a huge challenge for staff who are grappling with changing workplace environments.
From his time as a business consultant and a professional sports coach, including head coach of one of the greatest teams in sports history, John has crafted a step-by-step methodology to create and maintain peak performance. It is his What’s your Everest program.
John is at home in any environment which seeks change, a desire for peak performance, and a vision to be the game changers.
Telstra, HSBC (India), Mahindra BT, Idemitsu, Vale, Technology One are among corporate clients he has helped through his peak performance leadership programs. The FA, the ECB, Kolkata Knight Riders (IPL), NRL, Queensland Reds, Athletics Australia have all utilised John’s coaching and leadership expertise after his time with Cricket Australia. And since 2007, John has spoken to over 200,000 people across 5 continents.
