“Culture is what you create, leadership is what you model, and resilience is what you build — every day.”

Gilbert Enoka

Gilbert Enoka is a master of the mental game. Best known for his long-standing role as the All Blacks’ mental skills coach, Gilbert has been at the heart of New Zealand’s most successful sporting teams for over 20 years.

He’s helped guide the All Blacks to back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories, supported the Silver Ferns, and worked with high-performing teams in cricket, netball, and corporate leadership. His influence stretches far beyond the field, shaping a culture of excellence built on trust, connection, and mental toughness.

Gilbert’s insights come from a lifetime dedicated to understanding what makes people and teams perform under pressure. His stories from inside the All Blacks’ camp — where he helped develop their legendary “no dickheads” policy and an unwavering focus on humility and legacy — have become part of New Zealand leadership folklore.

In 2025, Gilbert is in high demand around the world as a keynote speaker and leadership advisor. His recent work has focused on creating sustainable high-performance environments, teaching leaders how to build genuine connection and resilience, and guiding organisations through change without losing their soul.
