With over 15 years inside elite environments, Chris shares hard-earned lessons on leadership, resilience, and what truly drives sustainable high performance. Chris unpacks the three essentials of great leadership: having a clear and aligned vision, developing the self-awareness to own your strengths and weaknesses, and showing genuine care for the people you lead. From lessons learned in rugby and equestrian sports to insights from agriculture and corporate environments, his stories highlight the universal principles that drive both teams and individuals forward. Listeners will also hear practical strategies for bouncing back from setbacks, the underestimated power of daily habits, and why chasing significance matters more than chasing success.
