Leadership principles for re-thinking what risk means

Bobbie LaPorte is ready for anything! A coach and consultant who helps leaders navigate uncertainty, Bobbie’s approach is inspired by her late-in-life foray into Ironman competitions and the realisation that, with discipline and determination, we can push through our leadership limits and vulnerabilities to make the impossible, possible.

Why you should listen: a leadership framework for uncertainty 

• Face curveballs with leadership capabilities
• Ditching the ‘old-school’ leadership styles
• Agile decision-making as a key leadership strength

We explore the reinvention of leadership:

• Strength spotting as a key leadership skill
• Being a hero is short-term leadership thinking
• How being vulnerable boosts team development
