John Amaechi is a former NBA player, distinguished organisational psychologist, bestselling author, and leadership expert who has made significant contributions in sports, psychology and diversity advocacy.
In 2007, four years after retiring from professional basketball, John publicly came out as gay, becoming the first former NBA player to openly declare his homosexuality. This decision was a landmark moment that challenged stereotypes and homophobia in sports. He has since become a prominent advocate for LGTBQ+ rights, racial equality and inclusive leadership, using his platform to inspire societal change and trigger conversations on equity and inclusion.
In his latest book, It’s Not Magic: The Ordinary Skills of Exceptional Leaders, John delivers an impactful discussion of the ordinary, energy-expensive, and transformative behaviours that define the world’s best leaders.
Join us for this session where John will walk us through the seemingly obvious but difficult-to-nail mindsets and intentions you will need to adopt to influence and motivate others. You’ll learn strategies and techniques you can apply immediately to help those who follow you to flourish and maximise their potential.
