With next year’s conference programme in mind, the emphasis was on Motivation – with Kevin Keegan topping a powerful bill… Mandy Hickson was one of the first female pilots to serve in a front line Tornado GR4 squadron. She spoke about the personal and strategic lessons learned, from how to make decisions in high pressure situations to the need for honest and open briefing. Mark Ormrod was on a routine Marine patrol when he stepped on an Afghan mine. He lost both legs and his right arm. On the brink of despair back in England his ego kicked in, and after 8-hour days in the gym he finally got the better of his new bionic legs. Almost unbelievably, has since run across America. Kevin Keegan is a true British sporting legend. As well as making his mark at Liverpool, Hamburg and Newcastle, he has the distinction of both captaining and managing the England football team.
