The theme "Leading for Success" provided a great opportunity to utilise expertise from my world of wilderness and mountains within the corporate context. I always find these events teach me something back. You witness a surprising variety between corporations, how they function, the leadership steering the ship and management holding it all together. One of the most marked characteristics I observed at LSG Sky Chefs are their united effort to excel. I felt this was down to having a strong set of company values that are kept at the forefront of their action, and the values of discipline and respect which are very much a part of everyone I met.
After the event, I signed 146 copies of my book. It was great fun as I had the opportunity to meet each of the delegates, shake their hand, and find out where they were from.
