This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who has worked inside Premier League football and understands how high-performing cultures are built and sustained. Tim will share lessons from his experience in elite sport and explore how they can help leaders build stronger teams within their own organisations.

Here’s what past attendees shared about their experience, and why fellow leaders are already securing their place at the next one.
