Empowering and engaging people – leadership lessons from the jungle

Ken Hames - International Key Note Speaker, TV Presenter (Beyond Boundaries BBC 2, Mission Africa BBC 1) and Director of Learning and Development company Farscape Development

Television series ‘Beyond Boundaries’ has seen Ken leading teams of people with disability on expeditions across the jungles of Nicaragua, the deserts of Namibia and the mountains of Ecuador.  When asked what made this seemingly impossible journey a success, he pinpoints the importance of empowering and engaging people; creating a compelling vision; and connecting with people on an emotional level to create a high performance team. 

Ken regularly speaks in businesses about the parallels he has faced on his expeditions with the challenges faced in the business world.  In this inspiring seminar Ken will share his experiences of leading teams and provide some simple steps to empowering and motivating people during challenging times.
