of the key events in the West Midlands business community calendar.
The
evening starts at 6.30pm with a drinks reception followed by our keynote
speaker Colonel Tim Collins OBE, a former officer in the British Army.

naturally inspiring speaker and such was the notoriety of this particular
address it is believed that a copy of the speech hung in the Oval Office of the

public, Collins became a hero and an inspiration to world leaders and
infantrymen alike.

Speaker Details
Colonel
Tim Collins OBE is a former officer in the British Army. He is best known for
his role in the Iraq war and his rousing eve-of-battle speech in March 2003:
“If you are ferocious in battle, remember to be magnanimous in victory".
Such was
the notoriety of this particular address it is believed that a copy of the
speech hung in the Oval Office of the White House. From the moment Tim Collins'
speech to his men in Iraq was made public, Collins became a hero and an
inspiration to world leaders and infantrymen alike.
Tim is a
naturally inspiring speaker, combining extensive experience of active service
with broad knowledge of military and political history.
An
authority on teamwork, leadership and motivation, his speeches show a clear
parallel between military problem solving and the challenges faced by leaders
in any walk of life.
Tim's
philosophy can be summed up in a handful of rules: -
1.
Know
what your objectives are and have a plan
2.
Pick
the right team
3.
Make
sure everyone has a role and that it has been communicated clearly to them
4.
Understand
your responsibilities as leader but learn to trust your team.
‘Inspiring,
funny and above all practical about what gets people committed'
‘In short
he was fantastic; if we were a little younger some of us might be interested in
joining the Royal Irish'
