From the Rugby Field to the Workplace: Matt Cockbain on Showing Up for Your Team

Last week, we had the privilege of welcoming Matt Cockbain – former Wallabies lock and one of Australian rugby’s most respected figures – to spend time with the EPE team.

Matt didn’t come to talk about trophies. He came to talk about people.
He shared what it really takes to perform at a professional level, the mindset, the discipline, and the trust you build within a team. Lessons that go far beyond the rugby field, and ones that resonate with EPE’s focus on teamwork and leadership.

Matt, thank you for your honesty and sharing what it truly means to show up for the person beside you. Matt gives back generously to the community and is clearly deeply grateful for the opportunities he’s gained through playing rugby at the international level.

Matt’s visit was proudly organised by our Culture Squad as part of our ongoing commitment to team development and high‑performance culture.
