Time to Thrive: Creating The Adaptable Team with David Webster

David Webster

In this session, we will explore how coaches, leaders and team members can create teams that can adapt and thrive as the world changes. Drawing from his forthcoming book, David will share research and insight from over 20 years of coaching senior leadership and project teams in national and global organisations.


“If your organisation has great teams, you will thrive, your organisation will thrive. Teams are the greatest source of competitive advantage for any organisation. For many of us, they are the ultimate expression of organisational contribution. They are reason that we go to work: to perform, to belong, to be appreciated, to find purpose and structure, to learn, to create meaningful change together and to make our particular mark on the world. No one can realize these ambitions alone. It is only when we are leading and working with others effectively and efficiently that we can know our best and most productive selves.”
