Stephen Brown Employee Engagement, Company Culture, Recruitment...
I meet a lot of athletes and leading sports people, with several close friends who have reached the pinnacle of their chosen sport. I am always asking them questions which I can use to help my business and my client’s businesses.
Learning from the most successful people in sport and applying it to business is nothing new but often there is a disjoint between what you hear from sports people and what happens in your office or factory.
