fls supports the improvement of leadership through sport
Leadership is a fundamental driver of performance for individuals, teams, coaches, administrators and whole organisations. We work with these groups to develop leadership qualities that will aid success whether within or outside the sporting environment.
Our aim is to encourage and facilitate athletes and sporting organisations to invest in leadership development. This includes National Governing Bodies of Sport, universities and clubs.
Directors and Associates have extensive top-level experience in leading and coaching within sport, business, public service and the military. The know-how and knowledge of world-class practices is drawn from all these sectors.
FLS seeks to assist in improving the effectiveness of sports organisations, enhancing sporting performance and enabling athletes to transfer their leadership skills to careers and fields beyond sport.
David Marquet leads a Breakout Session
‘the Language of leadership’
FLS annual Conference, February 14, 2020
In 2019, the FLS conference featured David Marquet, author of the best-selling book on leadership ‘Turn the ship around’. In the year since then, David has written another terrific book ‘Language is Leadership’. We were delighted to have its' UK launch at our Twickenham conference on Feb 14. The conference theme ‘The Language of Leadership’ was particularly relevant and the event was as successful as any we have held. David set things off in the morning, followed by a breakout session involving all 120 delegates.
“What a fantastic conference you put on today’. I honestly think it was more interesting and useful than the leadership courses I took at INSEAD - supposedly one of the top global MBA’s”
“David Marquet was a tremendous speaker, and I particularly enjoyed the afternoon panels on communication”
“A really inspiring and powerful day of learning on ‘the Language of Leadership’. A huge thanks to Bob Reeves and all the FLS team for putting on such a great day of content and to all the speakers, especially David Marquet. Now to go and implement”
