Topics, sessions and talks
Focused on “creating an environment so good that everyone wants to be a part of and nobody ever wants to leave,” Clive Woodward’s talk on creating a Winning Culture encapsulates the collaborative leadership model Clive successfully applied to the World Cup winning England rugby team and Team GB at London 2012.
Having worked with champion teams and individuals in sport and business over the last 2 decades Clive has identified that the ability to learn and take on new skills is a key characteristic of any Champion individual. In this talk on “Relentless Learning” Clive will explain the importance of learning and collaboration in high performance and describe how he coaches teams and individuals to learn better together everyday.
Clive Woodward's reputation as an innovative leader is driven by his determined approach to challenge the traditional school of thought and find new, different ways of operating, and this has never been more important in today’s ever-changing corporate world. In his talk on “Tackling Change,” Clive will highlight why it is important to embrace change and illustrate how creating a culture of relentless learning can help teams and organisations adapt and succeed.
Based on the notion that "great teams are made of great individuals," Clive Woodward has identified four criteria that he believes characterise a champion individual or team in both business and sport. "The DNA of a Champion" details each of these criteria, and how they can be coached to build high-performing teams.
Data and technology are powerful tools in sport and business, but only when everyone understands why and how to use them. In this talk, Clive Woodward explains how he uses data and technology with the teams he works with, and the impact it can have on individual and team performance.
Booking Sir Clive Woodward as a speaker offers your team or business the unique opportunity to learn from a World Cup-winning coach who transformed England's rugby team into world champions. His proven track record in enhancing team performance and achieving success in sports and business environments provides actionable insights and inspiration.
