Emma O'Reilly was Lance Armstrong's personal soigneur during the years he dominated the world of professional cycling and the only woman soigneur in the sport. She became a central figure by revealing the extent of doping in the peloton and, in particular, Lance Armstrong's involvement. Although, ultimately, Armstrong admitted doping, Emma had to endure a decade of personal attacks and rejection before he put the record straight and confirmed her version of events. Sport and business have many parallels and Emma will share her experience of the situations and challenges she has faced. Redemption and forgiveness are also key features of her story, Lance Armstrong wrote the foreword to her book "The Race to Truth". This is sure to be a motivational, inspirational and informative event.

Learning objectives:
By attending this event members will gain insights to:
- Working in "win at all costs" circumstances
- Making difficult decisions
- Dealing with adversity
