NIRL 49 - Ken Fehily - talking negotiation with Mr GST
Manage episode 408164921 series 3282562
In this episode of Negotiation in Real Life, I speak with Ken Fehily. Some of you might know 'Ken' as 'Mr. GST', a specialist accountant/economist who was one of the experts who assisted the treasurer and ATO write and implement the GST Law nearly a quarter century ago. He continues to specialize and advise the ATO, federal government, other professionals and businesses on GST, and tax reform.
He has over 3 decades of experience as a professional and non-exec director (often as chairman or treasurer) on government, industry, NFP and community boards and committees, across a wide spectrum of education, property, visual arts, museums, faith based organizations and is currently a volunteer first responder with SES rescue.
He spent decades as a senior international partner of the top global professional services firms, a sole practitioner since 2010, is a B.EC, FCAANZ, FCPA, CTA, GAICD, owned a contemporary art gallery, was married for 30 years and is a proud father of 4 inspiring children.
He's been rich, poor, homeless and owned a Toorak mansion. So one might say that over the years, he's been around, and remains persistently optimistic and enthusiastic.
Yet, despite his hard core disciplined side, 'Kenny' was also trained and exposed to matters involving the other creative and ‘feeling’ hemisphere of the brain and developed a warm, soft, understanding, gentle and empathetic side. That’s naturally led to him being sought out to coach, mentor and personally guide, formally or casually, a wide range of unique individuals, as unique as everyone around us all. Indeed, his testimonials range from a single Vietnamese boat refugee about in her 30s (he's never asked) through to a hard core conservative entrepreneurial board director in his 70s. It's unsurprisingly been described by some as a spirited and sometimes controversial persuader and negotiator.
In our discussion today, we speak about …
- How he learned his negotiating skills
- What he is doing now and his plans for the future
- The best deal he’s ever negotiated
... and much much more.
