Empowering your Team with Ali Adams

Ali Adams is the Chief Executive of ChristchurchNZ. She leads the city’s economic development agency with the support of six general managers who lead teams in pillars that each support a vital part of the agency’s work.

Ali has a background in economic development, having led New Zealand Trade and Enterprise’s work in Europe and before that, in the South Island. She has also worked in marketing, tourism and sports leadership, spending four years as the domestic manager for New Zealand Cricket.

Ali is a powerhouse and I am so excited to see what she brings to the beautiful city of Christchurch.

This interview was recorded in front of an audience at my most recent HPL event in Christchurch. Every year I host my High Performance Leadership event. Leaders from all over the country get together to focus on their performance and growth. We were honoured to have Ali Adams as one of our guest speakers at the event.

The waitlist is now open for HPL 2023. If you would like to be there and listen to some incredible guests like Ali, you can pop your name on the list here - https://www.jjlaughlin.com/leadershipnewzealand
