Pushing yourself to your personal extreme; Being aware of your emotions in pressure situations; Security versus happiness and freedom; Being a consultant and the questions to ask yourself; Sport as a foundation for life in a society full of rules; Sport to business messages and the availability and potential saturation of learning (contentious?) are some of the many areas we explored.
Kurt Lindley, Owner of Be More Learning & Development, has clearly given a great deal of thought and based many of his views on real and very personal experiences. There is truly something for everyone within this conversation!
