FINAL WORD
BOSS has announced Anna Hemmings MBE as the keynote speaker for their upcoming BOSS Leaders of the Future Conference
T
he BOSS Leaders of the Future Committee are delighted to announce their keynote speaker as Anna Hemmings, MBE, resilience and high performance specialist, leadership coach, two time Olympian and six time world champion.
HIGH PERFORMANCE SPECIALIST Anna is Britain’s most successful female marathon kayaker with a staggering 11 World and European Championship medals, nine of them gold; by 24 she had been world champion three times and competed at the Olympic Games. She is now a recognised specialist in the field of resilience and the psychology of high performance, regularly working with CEOs and senior leaders and speaking to companies such as P&G, Deloitte, Sony and Unilever.
At the peak of her career, Anna was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and was told by medical experts she might never race again. She battled her way to full recovery and went on to win a further three world titles and compete at her second Olympic Games in Beijing 2008.
Anna will explore the ‘resilient leaders elements’ model, drawing on her own journey as an Olympic athlete, world champion, entrepreneur and expert in the field of resilience to reveal the behaviours, actions and strategies that leaders need to be resilient and deliver outstanding results. ATTENDEES WILL LEARN: • The importance of clarity of direction and a unifying purpose • The power of authentic leadership and building strong relationships • How to develop leadership presence even when you’re not in the room • Engaging and motivating teams by understanding what drives us and others • Building confidence to navigate through uncertainty and change • Managing perspective and staying focused on what is important.
Every delegate will receive a link to the ‘Resilient Leaders Elements Lite’ assessment to provide them with an insight into their areas of strength and development in relation to the four elements of resilient leadership.
