Through her work at the Premier League, Right to Dream and elsewhere she has cultivated a reputation for developing transformational change amongst leaders with purpose, performance and wellbeing all equally important as another. The following episode is a deep dive into the behaviours and habits one must embody to bring that change to life. In a world with attention at a premium Simone goes deep on how one can remove interferences and focus more on the key fundamentals which will ultimately sustain one's career in the sporting world. Listen to find out more including; - How her understanding of transformational leadership gained layers going from step to step? - What we get wrong about self reflection? - Over-indexing on craft knowledge at the behest of understanding one's self. - What behavioural change looks like at the very top amongst the executives Simone works with? - What authentic people & leadership development looks like in today's AI driven world?
