Leading Across Sectors with Jane Nickerson | Episode 124

I’m delighted to bring you this conversation with Jane Nickerson, the CEO of Swim England since April 2017. One of the most interesting parts of this episode is age-old leadership debate: Do you need to be an expert in what your team or organisation does to be an effective leader?  Jane successfully guided Swim England through the pandemic and describes herself as feeling fortunate to work in a sector that is based on fun. As a result, she encourages everyone in the organisation to embrace this in their day-to-day work.Outside of swimming, Jane is grounded by her voluntary work with the Samaritans and enjoys participating in other volunteer-based organisations. She was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to swimming during the COVID-19 pandemic.  It is Jane’s belief that with positive thinking directed in the ‘right’ direction, everything is possible, which is another key theme of this episode.  Your Next Keynote Speaker BookingLooking for an inspiring speaker for your next event or company conference?Click here (www.ben-morton.com) to learn more about Ben's keynote talks, and then contact his team via [email protected] to discuss fees and secure your date.
