‘Brilliant Foundation for Leadership through Sport’ session at Twickenham. Getting language right and how we use it is key to effective communication, and effective communication is the key to leadership excellence’.
Second annual conference: ‘Staying at the top - Challenging from the front in Sport and Business’
'I found it all fascinating. One of the things I am trying to influence in terms of sports policy is bringing 'coaching supervision' into sport .... It was great to talk to Danny Kerry about this agenda and how this kind of support may be critical to enabling him to achieve ‘winning after winning’ - Jenny
'The content was fascinating and stimulating. I look forward to the next FLS event!' - Chris
'The topic of the day progressed so well on from last years and all the speakers, panel, and interviews kept the conversation engaging and interesting in all areas. The connection between sport, business and military continues to throw up ideas and similarities that are constantly changing and being challenged' - Matt
Consiglieri workshop
'Just want to say a big Thank you for a very informative and interesting day. I'm sure like everyone else I have attended many workshops over the years (My first with FLS) but this surpassed others'. - Lisa
Sandhurst workshop
'Yes, as the other attendees have mentioned, a big thank you from my side to YOU. It was such a privilege to be invited alongside a highly impressive table of personalities. There’s a lot of great things being done in the leadership sphere and I am enjoying being part of it. This particular event was quite something, Bob, and knowing what it takes to organise various things and bring people together, great job! I wasn’t expecting the activities you and Stuart put on, and the dinner was amazing.' - Richard
'Just wanted to say that I thought the afternoon was excellent. The experience left me with lots to think about, not just the topic of leadership but the whole experience and the opportunity you gave me to sit around the table with such a fascinating and experienced group of people.' - Steve
'I am writing to thank you so much for the session you hosted on Wednesday. It was truly outstanding. The whole event was both interesting and inspiring. It was very thought provoking and on a personal basis gave me time to reflect on how much each of the different sectors (in this case the military, sport and business) can both teach and learn from each other. The synergies are enormous.' - Bruce
Lancaster Royal Grammar School - Sixth Form workshop
'Bob, You’re a legend!!!! Heard you were terrific (from the lads themselves!!). Thanks.' - Kevin
