On Monday 3rd June, Commonwealth Games Northern Ireland hosted an insightful leadership workshop at PWC with leadership coach and mentor, David Hopley OBE.
David has decades of experience across a wide range of organisations in a variety of industries. After a long military career, which saw him retire as Deputy Commander of UK Special Forces, he worked for Goldman Sachs where he headed their leadership and development programmes across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. More recently, David’s consultancy work has included supporting several Olympic sports within the UK Sport high-performance environment.
The aim of the workshop was to develop people within TeamNI, and to build resilience across the team by getting more people involved. Lastly, making sure TeamNI are ready to provide optimal support to athletes during the next few Games cycles. We are looking forward to further developing within this area in our follow-up session in September!
