Board Meeting: Executives Who Surf
Insights from three industry leaders who surf…
On Wednesday, July 14th LeaderSurf hosted three business influencers who surf. Erik, Suhana and Claude have all had major impacts on their organizations through their leadership. Learn how surfing has played a role in their lives, their happiness and their success.
Surfing is a special sport with so many lessons that can be applied to business and life. Learning to surf pushes participants out of their comfort zones, teaches them resilience, perseverance and builds confidence. These are just a few of the reasons that LeaderSurf exists as a unique approach to teaching business executives to be better leaders.
Our highly accomplished panelists each have a story of how surfing has impacted their lives and their careers. At LeaderSurf we are excited to share these insights with you during the webinar.
