Building Resilient Teams and Leading Through Change with Dr. Sean Richardson
Dr. Sean Richardson draws from his experience in high-intensity sports to discuss how to perform at the highest level under pressure.

He also explores the importance of clearly defined company values and how leadership can model these values for their teams, all while navigating the uncertainties and last-minute changes often faced in the events industry.

High performance and leadership consultant to professional athletes, performing artists, and successful CEOs, Sean brings an Olympic level of commitment to excellence to his work with clients.
