Leaders Meet: Diversity

 

Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Here at Leaders we also recognise the power that sport has to connect people and create change, which is why we are delighted to bring you a series of events, Women In Sport and Black Excellence, that aim to champion excellence in diversity within the industry, accelerate the pace of change and inspire the next generation of sports executives.

Chain Conversations

The Chain Conversations content series brings together leaders from across professional sport to share their personal stories of leadership. The series of conversations between executives from a variety of backgrounds working within sport aim to inspire and energise you, and showcase why diverse thinking makes for better business.

With every new conversation, the previous interviewee becomes the interviewer, to continue the chain. This edition features Liverpool FC’s Katerina Tornari, with former interviewee Clare Briegal, CEO of the International Netball Federation, now asking the questions.
