In this episode, host John Rebecchi (M.B.A. ’83, Ph.D.) welcomes rugby legend Stuart Krohn, whose influence reaches far beyond the field. A standout All-American at UC Santa Barbara in 1986, Krohn's career took him from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Colorado-Boulder to Stade Toulousain in France, where he helped secure a national championship. Krohn then went on to lead Valley RFC in Hong Kong to eight consecutive championships. As a three-time Maccabi USA alumnus, Krohn won silver and gold medals at the Maccabiah Games before serving as Head Coach in 2005. Today, Krohn is focused on giving back as the founder of ICEF Rugby, a program dedicated to developing leadership, teamwork, and character in inner-city youth through the sport he loves.
Krohn will discuss his approach to leadership and focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities that exist within under-served communities. We will explore why strong organizational leadership is essential for cultivating growth and development and the lasting impact of being a positive role model within the community. Krohn will also emphasize the power of leading by example and how it inspires the next generation of leaders.
