#LeadersWeek is awesome. 3000 people. 3 stages. Big awards. Great food. But if you’re new to it all, or have recently found yourself leading your own business, going it alone, freelancing, or you’re a seasoned consultant, it can still sometimes all feel a bit… overwhelming?  You want to project an air of authority, mix it with the big dogs, but your profile (and maybe budget) may not be what it once was, or will be… We all have our own paths, some by design, some by blind luck. For me, having once been a ‘young’, navy-suited, bright-eyed, up too late wristband wearing novice, to then wielding the budget and clout of a headline partner, to in 2018 ’going it alone’ as founder of Trippant, a commercial-centric comms & PR consultancy, it’s still an equally exciting and daunting place. Since then Trippant’s gone on to work with industry names like Hilton, SailGP, Nielsen, and New Zealand Rugby. We’ve also supported start-ups, early stage businesses, SMEs, and founders like GeeGee, Snackr, SponServe, a KORE Software Company, Phokus, and Greenfish.io.  So when David Cushnan and Laura McQueen asked if I’d help set the scene and host one of the new Leaders Connects sessions aimed to help the lone wolves out there, I said, “yes please.” If any of the above sounds familiar, or you’re keen to know more, join Sports Business Journal's Dan Kaufman and I for this networking and informal discussion session tailored for ‘Start-Up Founders and Consultants’, where you’ll no doubt build impactful and potentially invaluable connections. Don’t hover on the blue carpet waiting to catch the eye of Gerard Piqué Bernabéu or Rory Sutherland, alone, shipwrecked on an island of hope while industry pals high five each other en-route to their green stadium seated Michelin-level Katsu curry. Come along, 9am on Thursday 17th Oct, in Shakespeare Room 1, as we go again! Day 2 is the big one. Wheat from the chaff. Who stayed up too late? Which early birds are catching the worms…?!
