In this session we bring together some of the most accomplished individuals from the worlds of advertising and coaching to share their views on what the ingredients are that lend themselves toward excellent contemporary leadership. Leading people and business is challenging at the best of times, but increasingly leaders are operating in highly dynamic circumstances and are tested in their ability and character to thrive and inspire. We talk with Chris Hirst, Global agency leader of Havas and best selling author of No Bullshit Leadership, Alex Lazarus, one of the most highly regarded executive coaches whose company is tried and trusted on a global basis, and Giselle Mather, a rugby world cup winning fly-half and today known as one of the finest coaches in rugby and a regular broadcast commentator on the game. This session should be highly entertaining but will also provided inspirational stimulus for our current and future leaders. View Less
