Leadership, learning and Development

After decades of real world working with the most elite performers around the world, Fergus shares his learnings from the top coaches and leaders of the highest performing professional teams and military special forces.

The information and content is designed for leaders to be actionable and practical – from the beginning.

Every high performer has had a moment of desperate failure, that they generally hold deep inside. Fergus Connolly lived as a top performer working with top performers seven days a week helping others do great things. Suddenly his life fell apart and he lost everything, job, family, dignity. His failure was public (his failure hit ESPN) so he had to face it. He had never faced failure before. He discovered that even top performers need someone to lean on. Authentic people aren’t perfect, they are real. Our biggest mistake is to not lean on others when we need it most. Facing failure makes us stronger. Even sheepdogs occasionally need to lean on another sheepdog.
