[Leadership Summit] Catching a wave

[Louise Marsland: @Louise_Marsland] We’ve all heard – and mocked – the various leadership team builds and lectures involving lion prides, wild dogs, bush babies, the nomadic tribes of Albania… Inspirational, but often low on content. I’m expecting high content value and high impact at the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit in Sandton today,Wednesday, 22 July 2009. First up is the ultimate surfer dude, Shaun Tomson, with 12 simple lessons for ‘riding through life’, drawn from his experience as world surfing champ.

Surfer champ and entrepreneur Shaun Tomson started off the Discovery Invest Leadership Summit by speaking about inspiration and inspirational leadership in a sweet and touching presentation; not really wow, but it is good to be reminded of some of the usual life lessons from a different paradigm.

[Louise Marsland: @Louise_Marsland] Discovery CEO Adrian Gore was witty, direct and engaging this morning in addressing the attributes of success.
