10. “ For me the event was life-changing. I had always considered myself not at all sporting. At school I was never picked for the team. In the space of an afternoon, I learnt to love the game of basketball ” Female leader, Women’s Leadership Programme “ I learnt a lot about myself. This experience taught me about negative self-talk. I didn’t realise how much it was holding me back. Now I know that most people experience this, not just me, I feel confident that I will be able to do more”. Participant—Crelos Sport for Leaders event It's a privilege to be a part of the program and receive time to focus on my leadership skills. Looking forward to put in practice what I learnt. Participant – Novartis, F&A Leadership Programme “ Fun activity emphasizing the learning curve and courageous leadership/team work.” Participant – Novartis, F&A Leadership Programme

‘ The challenge’: WHO? A global pharmaceutical company in need of engaging senior women in shifting its “overly macho culture”. WHAT? Seeking a programme to encourage women to challenge the norms and shift the board room culture WHERE? Switzerland. Interwoven within Women’s leadership programme called “Breaking the rules.” ‘ The approach’ : We used basketball as it is so flexible in its delivery and outcomes. And provided an excellent level playing field for both genders Facilitator, Coach and Client preparation time prior to the event to ensure expected outcomes are encouraged through the physical aspects of delivery and engagement Session outline: Starting with individual aspects , leading into small and pressurised games and finally into fully managed and resourced team tournament with high expectations of behaviour change and understanding of the facilitator’s key messages. Rest times (!) And debriefs within the natural flow of the session to allow for learning, reflection and facilitator time. ‘ The outcome’: As with every intervention personal outcomes arrive at varying stages although some early responses from clients were: A much more positive approach to ‘out of my comfort zone programmes’ Change of perspective to the value of sport within their life and work leading to a healthier lifestyle Developed self confidence within board room environment through ‘ chimp management!’
