KEYNOTES, WORKSHOPS AND PROGRAMMES

Lessons from elite sport, built around your team.

Keynotes, interactive sessions, workshops and programmes on individual performance, team performance, leadership and culture. I don’t sell an off-the-shelf talk. We start with what your people need, then build the sessions around it, bringing in practitioners from elite sport where their experience fits your themes.

Talks

Flow, Team Flow and the F1 Pit Stop

What twenty people changing four tyres in about two seconds teaches us about teams that click, and how to build the conditions for it.

Optimising Human Performance in a World of Data

What Formula 1 measures, what it misses, and how to use data to help people perform rather than just to monitor them.

Leadership Learnings from 30 Days in the Desert

Ten athletes, 1,000 km, thirty days, and what leading them taught me about decisions, energy and keeping a team together when everyone is tired.
