Leadership Secrets of Football's Master Coaches

September 22

What if Coach Vince Lombardi had been a CPA? There are multiple common threads between championship football teams and high performance organizations. Many of the high-impact strategies of America’s most successful football coaches can be adopted to improve an organization’s performance.

 

This CPE program will focus less on what coaches like Lombardi and Walsh accomplished, and more on how they and other master coaches led their people to extraordinary levels of success. Each presentation is customized to include philosophies, reflections, and quotations from successful football coaches in the local state (such as Oklahoma, Alabama, Massachusetts, Oregon, etc.).
