That's a wrap! #DiveIn2024 🥳   BTS (behind the scenes) Day 3 of the 'UK Closing Event’ at Lloyd's; panel guests include Bruce Carnegie-Brown, James Green, Victoria Gosling OBE, Alex Brooker and KJT (Katarina Johnson-Thompson).   Reflections: 💡 Resilience and teamwork: Bruce discussed how teams are the backbone of any enterprise and how people excel when they’re engaged in activities they love. It’s also about finding individuals whose passions align with the gaps in your team. Trust is key 💡 Vicky Gosling OBE: Expect the unexpected, resilience is built through shared experiences; 'If you want to go far, go together' 💡 KJT: ‘My most successful team has been one that's built on trust, it's not about the coach or the athlete as individuals, but everyone working together towards the end result' 💡 Alex Brooker: Always ask people for advice and find the people that will be honest with you 💡 James Green: Never give up, even when things are tough you've got to keep trying, it will pay off in the end   What were your key takeaways?
