The Morning Leader: Achieving Team Success on the Field or in the Office

In anticipation of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, The Vancouver Board of Trade's Women's Leadership Circle is proud to present an accomplished panel of senior leaders to discuss building and developing successful teams. Whether it be effectively engaging volunteers, colleagues, employees, or teammates, outstanding leaders attribute a significant portion of their success to the teams around them.

A 2014 Atlantic article revealed that girls who play team sports are more likely to graduate from college, find a job, and be employed in male-dominated industries. This same article indicates that there is a direct link between playing sports in high school and earning a bigger salary as an adult. Panelists will discuss how learning to own victory and survive defeat in sports is great training for succeeding and surviving setbacks on the field or in the office.

What you will learn by attending:

  • Strategies to build a winning team of volunteers, employees, or athletes.
  • How to survive and thrive despite team setbacks on the field or in the office.
  • How to effectively manage and address team conflict.

Panellists Include:
