Overview

Shifting your thinking to viewing failure as a positive is one of the hardest lessons for most business leaders, but it's also one of the most essential.

Sir Ian will take us on a captivating journey through his life story, sharing the invaluable lessons learnt from facing adversity head-on, embracing setbacks, and turning obstacles into stepping stones to success.

The word failure is not in Sir Ian’s vocabulary. He will redefine setbacks, offers strategies to learn from them, and show you how embrace challenges.

Profoundly inspiring, deeply thought provoking, refreshingly authentic - prepare to be informed, educated and inspired by this multi-awarded innovator.
