I have worked in the mass participation sports and events industry for the past 13 years. As such I have worked with small start-ups, businesses in periods of expansion, and large national organisations and been part of teams of all sizes as well as taking senior leadership roles.

I believe that investing time in individuals, teams and a collective culture is critical to the success of any organisation, regardless of purpose or sector. People buy people, and that is often overlooked when the daily workload overwhelms us. Taking time to pause, reflect and build a strong team, with a solid foundation, should be the primary focus for every leader.
