In this episode, Didier Elzinga, CEO and Co-founder of Culture Amp, will moderate a discussion on achieving and sustaining a high-performance culture by drawing upon lessons learned from the world of high-performance sports.

He was joined by Lindsay Verstegen, Chief People & Diversity Officer at the Detroit Lions, John Ferguson, Chief HR Officer at NASCAR, and Ben Crowe, former global Nike executive and one of the world’s most in-demand professional mentors and mindset coaches, working with CEO’s, teams, executive teams and athletes.
