Testimonials
James and Christian’s individual stories had us at the edge of our seats the entire 90 minutes. The audience went through a full emotional rollercoaster while being struck with awe at the brave, skilful leadership each demonstrates in their own special fields. What an honour to be a part of their audience. I learnt more about leadership in crises from these guys than I may have over my entire career and the realisation that perspectives matter. It has been months since I first attended this talk, but it left me with an extremely meaningful lesson that has stayed with me – how to keep your head straight and lead your teams out of a major mess when they are relying on you. Highly recommend!
Buckle up! Heart-wrenching and jaw-dropping. This is a leadership talk like no other. James and Christian commanded a hushed silence and attentive respect from our usually rowdy crowd and that evening no one could speak of anything else. Whilst their experiences are extreme the message is very relatable and provides a novel viewpoint to even seasoned executives. Highly recommended!
James and Christian were both brilliant speakers. Throughout their talk it was clear they were both drawing on an immense depth of experience in highly stressful situations. Their stories were incredibly helpful in articulating what, in fact, a great leader looks like under extreme pressure and how one could apply that to their everyday life. I highly recommend seeing them ‘in action’ if you have the chance.
A tremendously inspirational and insightful discussion by two practitioners of crisis leadership at the very top of their game. Different insights, but with a symbiosis that can be applied to a panoply of sectors and environments
