Book Ross for a speaking engagement

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Speaking and consulting

What business, individual and life-lessons can be learned from the world of high performance sport?  Elite sport is a world where athletes, coaches and managers pursue more than simply excellence, recognizing that perfection is the ultimate target.  It is a world where creating a culture of team-work, discipline, attention to detail, creativity and co-dependence are the difference between success and failure.

That difference can be as small as 0.05%, and borrowing the principles of high performance sport can provide a cutting edge to businesses and decision makers who understand the strategic, tactical and operational opportunities before them.

Business leadership faces challenges such as motivation, building a winning culture, facing competition, managing scarce resources optimally, and crafting high-performing teams under pressure.  These are common to coaches and managers in sport, and the lessons learned and applied can contribute to finding the winning advantage.

Dr Ross Tucker is a highly sought after speaker and opinion-leader, recently named among the Top 200 Influential South Africans by Mail and Guardian and Top 100 influential people in SA sport.  He is regularly featured as a contributing writer to media outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, Guardian (UK), as well  contributing to news coverage on platforms including the BBC, CNN, Sky News, Supersport, e-TV and SABC.

For both consulting and speaking needs ranging from strategic planning, measurement and review, and motivational speaking, complete the form below and we will revert as soon as possible.
