About This Event

In recent memory, has there been any entertaining content providing better instruction to leaders than “Ted Lasso”? The show’s focus on the very human aspects of running an organization make clear how important our human capital is to our success.  This session will use the wonderfully people-centric “Ted Lasso” as the vehicle through which important topical leadership and human resources issues will be addressed. Invite inspiration from this nontraditional source, allow Ted and his friends to guide your firm, and . . .  Believe!
