I was invited to be the keynote speaker at the Alfred Health Top 100 Leadership Conference, a session devoted to the topic “Transforming Health Services.” As is often the case, I illustrated the concept of “a learning organization” with references from Goal Play!, and all of the attendees received a copy of the book. It’s remarkable what lessons the 12- and 14-year-old soccer players have to offer to people in health care and other fields!
The surprise for me today was the presence of Karen Ginnivan, a staff member trained in visual note-taking, who made an artistic rendition of my presentation in real time as I was speaking. Here is one sample, depicting one of the chapters from Goal Play! I think she did a great job!
Goal Play has made quite a splash in Melbourne – our top 100 leaders now have copies and many of the stories in this terrific book on leadership are being quoted this week at Alfred Health. Really this is a book about everything masquerading as a book about girls soccer!
And ‘artist’ Karen is fantastic and made the session even more lively!
and of course we are super lucky to have Paul Levy with us for most of this week.
