This Master Class series was developed to provide new perspectives to enhance best leadership practices. We designed the series on the premise that when evaluating how world-class companies pull ahead of the competition in challenging business conditions, experts consistently pinpoint one differentiating factor: strong leadership. For me personally as both the organiser of the series & a participant Trevor delivered a very thought provoking and different perspective on leadership and showed that responsible leadership can & will deliver long term sustainable results. Personally I found Trevor’s  session thoughtful, inspiring but very grounded in reality which is exactly what we asked for”
