1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,320
David, it is wonderful to see you.
2
00:00:09,620 --> 00:00:13,420
You and your smile make my day always.
3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:14,660
Thank you.
4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,720
You’re welcome.
5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,000
I wish we could be in person
6
00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:25,450
but this whole Zoom set up is pretty amazing
7
00:00:25,450 --> 00:00:28,420
and I’m going to take advantage of you real time.
8
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:34,720
I’m going to ask you a number of questions and gain some insights
9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:41,800
and also to “fire up the force”, if you will, from our brand ambassador.
10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,880
How are you today?
11
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:46,020
Where do we find you today?
12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,420
Well I’m here in the UK, I’m in the countryside,
13
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:53,480
we’ve been here for the past 11 and a half weeks
14
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:56,480
so we’re very lucky to be obviously out of the city
15
00:00:56,980 --> 00:01:01,540
but we’re learning to do new things and I think that’s one of the things that
16
00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:08,700
I’ve been telling my kids and also the other Zoom calls I’ve done over this time.
17
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:11,500
You know, it’s about being creative,
18
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:16,200
it’s about doing things in a different manner than what we’re used to.
19
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:21,260
We always say that it’s great to be next to each other
20
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:22,840
when we’re doing these kind of things
21
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:25,300
but this is something different and this is something
22
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:31,720
that we’re reaching out to over twenty-thousand of our family,
23
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:39,200
and that’s something that is different but it’s actually quite exciting to be a part of.
24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:47,020
So yes, I’m here in my house in the UK and the kids are already doing their school work
25
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:54,000
so they were up this morning early and I’ve set up them so they’re all set up and working away
26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,320
and now Daddy’s got to do some work as well.
27
00:01:57,340 --> 00:02:06,340
So David, you mention, you used the word “family”, which is key because at AIA our agency force is our family,
28
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:12,760
AIA is a family, you are an intrinsic member of our family,
29
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:18,020
so let me ask you: what is it like for you to be part of the AIA family?
30
00:02:18,820 --> 00:02:25,080
You know I’ve been really lucky throughout my career, I’ve been part of some great teams,
31
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,240
with some great managers and great fanbase
32
00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:33,500
so I’ve always been part of great families over my career
33
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:39,100
and obviously I retired from playing football 7 years ago
34
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,880
and I’ve been very lucky with the partners that I’ve had throughout my career and throughout my life
35
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,400
and they’re all long-term partners
36
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,340
and that’s something I’m very proud to have, you know, great businesses.
37
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,180
So when obviously we first joined AIA or even had the first conversations,
38
00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:09,320
one of the things I was aware of from the first moment was that it was a big family,
39
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,160
you know it was a big family that wanted to do amazing things,
40
00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:18,520
and for me to be part of the AIA family
41
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,080
I felt very proud of that and I feel very proud of that
42
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:25,900
because I know that we’re all trying to do the best
43
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:29,440
and to be positive with everything that’s going on.
44
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:33,340
To be part of that and to step into another great family for me,
45
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,760
I’m very honoured, I’m very honoured to be part of that.
46
00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:38,340
I see it all the time,
47
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:43,780
whenever we’re travelling around Asia, whenever we’re doing AIA events,
48
00:03:43,780 --> 00:03:47,920
and the scale of these events are nothing like I’ve seen before;
49
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:54,420
you know the energy, the passion, the agents that I’ve met over these years,
50
00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:59,200
they’re incredible people that are trying to do incredible things
51
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,440
and that for me…it makes me honoured and proud to be part of an organisation
52
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:09,760
that is doing so much but still feels like it’s a real family,
53
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,380
a tight family knit organisation and that’s what I love about it.
54
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:24,560
Well, we love you, and as you said, in a way the role as Ambassador is complex
55
00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:31,860
and it is evolving during these times - having the opportunity to do the traditional market visits,
56
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:36,660
to get close to our agents, our customers and our AIA family,
57
00:04:36,940 --> 00:04:38,900
we can’t do that right now,
58
00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:46,280
so really using digital tools and being able use this type of technology to get
59
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:50,660
to still be able to get up close and personal is really important,
60
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:54,920
so how do you see the role evolving over time?
61
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:58,900
I think that we just want to continue to grow the business
62
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:03,400
to help people in any possible way.
63
00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:09,740
And I think now more than ever you really realise how much family
64
00:05:09,740 --> 00:05:14,760
need support and need help and need positivity.
65
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,760
And I think we have always tried to do that.
66
00:05:16,780 --> 00:05:19,060
Whenever we have come into market,
67
00:05:19,060 --> 00:05:23,040
whenever we’ve met the different agents the different customers,
68
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:27,640
now more than ever we need to take care of our families,
69
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,800
of our children, of our parents, of our grandparents.
70
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,460
I’ve always said and I’ve said it many times before,
71
00:05:33,460 --> 00:05:38,580
sometimes the little changes are the biggest changes that people make in their lives,
72
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:44,420
and that’s the one thing that I’ve always done so we want to continue to grow the business
73
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:49,000
we want to continue to live healthier, longer, better lives
74
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:53,620
and the way of doing that, is sometimes just the smallest changes
75
00:05:53,620 --> 00:05:56,040
within your lives, within your families.
76
00:05:56,860 --> 00:06:02,420
So David, at home then in the Cotswolds with your family,
77
00:06:02,420 --> 00:06:06,120
if I may, how have you handled it?
78
00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:12,170
How have you been able to as a team, as a family, pull together during this extraordinary time,
79
00:06:12,170 --> 00:06:16,180
and what are some of the things you’ve learnt going through this?
80
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:21,760
I think, one of the things that I‘ve learnt, especially that family time,
81
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,680
which I’ve always believed is the most important time,
82
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,200
family time is really important and especially now.
83
00:06:29,220 --> 00:06:34,240
The one thing that me and Victoria said right from day one of lockdown is,
84
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,460
yes the schooling is important and yes we have to keep up to date,
85
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:43,760
but more importantly we want to make sure that our children are happy
86
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,580
and coming out of this time and coming out of this lockdown thinking,
87
00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:53,280
“wow” do you remember looking back on it at being a happy time instead of an anxious time?
88
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:56,680
which like I said, everyone is going through this.
89
00:06:57,060 --> 00:07:04,720
So it’s important that we take walks every day because the children are fit, are healthy,
90
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,360
they like to work out, they like to go for walks,
91
00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:14,460
but this time is more important than ever that you take your time to do
92
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:18,180
and you take your moment to do things like that - family time
93
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:25,540
- sitting down and watching a movie, going and kicking a football around or throwing a tennis ball around for a while,
94
00:07:25,540 --> 00:07:28,840
those things really have been more important than ever.
95
00:07:30,060 --> 00:07:37,280
So, agreed, and what we’re seeing across Asia now at AIA
96
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,100
is that the interest in protection, the interest in life and health,
97
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:51,730
given everyone’s experiences, is now increasing so we see an opportunity to serve needs.
98
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:56,620
Actually, many people David, who wouldn’t have considered insurance before,
99
00:07:56,620 --> 00:08:03,440
are now open and interested to learning more about financial protection as well as health protection.
100
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:09,220
How do you see as Ambassador these opportunities
101
00:08:09,220 --> 00:08:12,580
or changes in the way consumers are thinking and feeling,
102
00:08:12,620 --> 00:08:16,860
as an opportunity for you as a role you can play as our ambassador,
103
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:21,860
to help inculcate this message of being able to life a healthier, longer and better life?
104
00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:28,340
Well I just think that obviously we all have to be creative in different ways.
105
00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:34,700
I think families are struggling, businesses are struggling,
106
00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:44,220
businesses are trying to come up with different ways of staying a business which is more important than ever.
107
00:08:44,220 --> 00:08:49,440
It’s about people coming together being positive, being creative.
108
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:55,460
Myself as a father, as a husband, as a business man,
109
00:08:55,460 --> 00:08:59,640
you are more aware of it that now than ever before.
110
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:07,220
We want to come out of this situation, we want to come out of this lockdown and this pandemic,
111
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:13,380
kinder, happier and also to make changes to our lives that
112
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:17,320
we didn’t even think about probably 6 months ago.
113
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:23,160
So people are being forced into making changes that they never thought they would probably have to make
114
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,160
and I think that businesses are doing exactly the same thing.
115
00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:30,080
So David, let me ask you, you reference making a change,
116
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:34,440
but I have to then ask what is perhaps the most significant change
117
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,080
that you personally will make coming out of this?
118
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:46,860
I think the most significant change for me is, the majority of my business now revolves around travel,
119
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:50,060
revolves around being in different parts of the world.
120
00:09:50,060 --> 00:09:53,120
That’s been a big change for me in last part 3 months.
121
00:09:53,140 --> 00:10:01,780
I don’t think for a long, long time I’ve had the opportunity to spend this amount of time
122
00:10:01,780 --> 00:10:05,460
in one place with my family, with my children, with my wife,
123
00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:09,800
and actually it’s been really amazing.
124
00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:14,400
Someone said to me the other day, they said, what is the one thing you would take out of this situation,
125
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,800
this terrible situation that’s gone on, what’s the one positive?
126
00:10:17,820 --> 00:10:23,520
And the one positive is I’ve got to spend more time with my family than I’ve ever spent before,
127
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,540
and absolutely loved it.
128
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:30,620
But I think more than anything, I’m a fit person,
129
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,940
I’ve always tried to eat the right things, drink the right things,
130
00:10:35,220 --> 00:10:40,640
but I’ve noticed more than ever that the fresh air,
131
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,900
getting out, walking with the kids, no devices,
132
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:53,160
they’re walking they’re talking they’re spending time with their brothers, with their sister,
133
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,520
and that’s been the biggest change for me personally.
134
00:10:57,540 --> 00:11:01,260
But you know we all have to make these changes in our lives
135
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:05,780
and we’ve spoken about it when we’ve been in these conferences
136
00:11:05,780 --> 00:11:10,000
with these events that we’ve done about making little changes,
137
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,120
those little changes have become slightly bigger now and people are aware of that.
138
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,440
And David, and any big lessons learnt coming out of this?
139
00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:27,080
I think the lessons learnt are sometimes you need to slow down.
140
00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:31,560
Especially when you’re in business when you’re travelling,
141
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:36,800
sometimes you need that moment where you need to take care of yourself in different ways
142
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,840
and I think that’s more evident than ever with something like this.
143
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:46,480
I’ve tried to obviously personally reach out to AIA customers
144
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,760
which I’ve done in the last few weeks,
145
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:50,060
to just find out and to just get tips on what they’ve been doing at home, what I’ve been doing at home and get them thinking creatively,
146
00:11:50,060 --> 00:11:55,160
to just find out and to just get tips on what they’ve been doing at home,
147
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:12,240
and that’s what we’ve tried to do, particularly some of the things that I’ve done with Harper like painting, drawing, arts and crafts,
148
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:20,280
it’s just about trying to do things to keep them happy but also to keep us creative as well.
149
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:26,620
Well the ping-pong balls into the mugs that was definitely creative!
150
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:33,320
I also just want to thank you for the incredible work that we did with Tottenham.
151
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:41,740
In the way that the marriage between yourself and José Mourinho, the impact, the reaction has been incredible,
152
00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:47,960
I mean just the sheer magnitude of views and engagement has been terrific;
153
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:55,660
I mean the content, and how authentic the two of you were and showing that vulnerability;
154
00:12:55,660 --> 00:12:59,520
you touch a lot on mental health and mental resilience.
155
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:12,220
How do you underpin your own personally mental resilience and mental strength, given who you are, what you do and all the challenges that we all face in our lives?
156
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:18,220
I think my mental resilience came from a number of places and from a number of people.
157
00:13:18,220 --> 00:13:26,920
To have to move away from home at 15 years old to go and live in Manchester to play for the team that I’d always wanted to play for.
158
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:33,040
To go through some of the ups and downs that I had from early on in my career,
159
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:42,340
to be told by a coach at 15 or 14 years old that I would never represent my country because I was too small, because I was too skinny,
160
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:53,280
so there were certain things that I went through throughout my career that were a challenge, but it was also a challenge to set me up for the future,
161
00:13:53,560 --> 00:14:06,920
so on the mental side to go through things like in 1998 when I got sent off, certain things like that set me up in life to be stronger as a person on the field and also off the field,
162
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:16,720
so it’s important to understand that it’s good to talk, whereas 20 years ago when someone was to say,
163
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,740
you know “I’m not feeling great”, the answer would’ve been OK just get on with it, you’ll be fine.
164
00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:33,100
Whereas now, kids, children are understanding that they can say “I’m not feeling great today” or “I want to be better at this”,
165
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:40,880
I think that that’s more of an understanding now so to be able to sit with someone like José with his experience with his knowledge,
166
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,920
that was a really an insightful afternoon for me but an enjoyable one as well
167
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:51,880
and it was an enjoyable one because I was able to put my perspective across of how I was
168
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,880
when I went through certain difficult times and tough times and José was exactly the same.
169
00:14:57,500 --> 00:15:07,860
So if I may, just a little bit more, we have our top agents gathered here today and I want a call to action,
170
00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:18,040
I want to rev them up and fire them up, and give them the “wind under their wings” to continue to do incredible things for our customers.
171
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:27,840
If you can frame a message to our incredible people in the field across Asia, coming from you, our Ambassador, David what would it be?
172
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:42,460
I think my message to all of our family, our agents, our customers, is our business and our purpose is so essential in this world
173
00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:47,520
and it’s important that we have the positivity.
174
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:54,580
So my message to our agents, my message to our customers, is continue the great work that we’re doing
175
00:15:54,580 --> 00:16:05,420
because we’re very proud of that, we’re very proud to be in the position that we are, we’re very proud to have the people that do this day in day out,
176
00:16:05,420 --> 00:16:10,360
every minute every second of the day and now more than ever is the time to be positive,
177
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:18,180
now more than ever is where we need our agents, our customers and the energy that they bring, and I’m proud of them.
178
00:16:19,220 --> 00:16:21,960
David, an amazing call to action.
179
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280
I’m giving you a massive digital hug.
180
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,960
United together always, to enable healthier, longer and better lives.
181
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,600
David Beckham, thank you so much.
182
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:42,340
Stuart thank you so much, and here’s to healthier longer better lives, and I don’t think I’ve ever done a call with so many people,
183
00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:51,580
so to over twenty-thousand of our family I want to send my love, I want to send my love to you guys, to your families and your friends.
184
00:16:51,580 --> 00:16:58,080
Stay safe, stay healthy and I cannot wait to be back in Asia, I miss you all and I love you all, thank you.
185
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,080
Lots of love David, thank you.
