• October 2021
This emotionally powerful and intimate talk by CEO of Army Recruiting Group Damian Riley looks at the six lessons of leadership as told through a narrative of recovery from traumatic injury. Damian’s personal yet pragmatic discussion about the challenges he has faced since he was involved in a cycling accident in 2019 is highly thought-provoking and moving. The lessons he has discovered about himself during his ongoing road to recovery can be translated into all of our lives and applied directly by those in leadership positions.
