#40 Caitlin Bassett - Captaining Australia in Netball, Career Transition and Lifelong Lessons in Leadership

Caitlin is always looking to learn when it comes to leading teams. In her words "I don’t pretend to be perfect but instead focus on being genuine, and that is what I continually come back to when the pressure is on – being an open and real leader."
Caitlin has a communications degree majoring in Broadcast & Journalism, s a Fox Sports commentator and passionate spokesperson on topics including career transition (based on her own experience and difficulty adjusting), leadership and women in sport. Caitlin recently started a role as Player Development Manager at Cricket NSW. She has a dog named Chino, a pet Bunny named Big Wee Wee, and a cat with no name. Caitlin is a self-proclaimed die-hard coffee fan.
