Gladstone Small is a former England cricket international who transforms his elite sporting experience into practical business insights for organizations navigating change and performance challenges.
As a veteran of seventeen Test matches and over fifty One Day Internationals, Small represented England in two Cricket World Cups (1987, 1992) and earned Man of the Match honours during his distinguished career with Warwickshire. Following retirement, he became a director of the Professional Cricketer's Association, expanding his influence beyond the pitch.
Gladstone helps organizations build resilient teams by applying proven strategies from professional sport to business environments. His personal journey overcoming Klippel-Feil syndrome to compete at cricket's highest level provides authentic perspective on turning potential limitations into competitive advantages. This experience, featured in the Respect television documentary series, underpins his approach to organizational challenges.
Audiences leave Gladstone's presentations with practical frameworks for enhancing team cohesion under pressure, actionable techniques for maintaining peak performance during organizational change, and renewed perspective on transforming personal challenges into professional strengths.
