“You have to be willing to fail …..and willing to give the effort and the emotional investment that it takes.”

Sam Menegola believes that the challenge of reaching and staying  your best applies equally to both his football and insurance careers.

Commitment to growing, even in adversity and accepting feedback is critical to developing your business and life skills.

Planning structure and framework around career to progress is of critical importance in creating a career and culture.

He advises school leavers to look beyond the career guide that gets handed out in years 11 and 12 and consider insurance as a genuine career.
