Aim

Rugby is the team sport by excellence. It embraces human diversity in many ways, namely physically speaking. You can be tall or short of size, you can be slow or fast, you can even be heavy or light, there will always be a position for you within the team.

All you need is character and people will judge you and value you on its basis. You are part of the rugby family for who you are, not who you pretend to be.

Why? Because the essence of our game is grounded in the values that it has been promoting for almost 200 years. Rugby is the only combat sport that is played as a team. It is therefore an outstanding metaphor to inspire organizations on how to be structured and lead humanly speaking.

Leadership creates culture in any organisation. Such a culture must above all create membership to foster long-term fulfillment, engagement, and resilience of all the stakeholders.

A bunch of questions can accordingly be addressed:

- What is the purpose of top management if we look at international rugby coaches?

- How can team captains inspire other leaders in organizations to improve in their role?

- How can all these leaders create membership, engagement, and resilience in the long run?

The aim of this interactive conference is to provide you with inspirational stories behind stories arising from the last Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan and the ongoing 6 Nations tournament in Europe. These experiential lessons learned will help you to keep improving in your leadership posture and the way you inspire, support and reveal your people on a daily basis.

Looking forward to having a good time with you!

A Zoom link will be sent to all the participants 24 hours before the conference.

About the speaker

Nicolas Meeùs is an ex-Belgian international rugby player (2009-2017). It gave him the opportunity to contribute to the historical qualification and maintenance of the Black Devils in the REC ("6 Nations B") and to play against teams of the top 20 worldwide (such as Georgia, Romania and Canada). He is still active as player of the Royal Kituro Schaerbeek RC (Belgian champions in 2009, 2011 and 2015).

During all these years, he has been combining his top amateur sport commitment with his studies (masters in law and management) and his full time jobs. When he retired from the Belgian national squad, he decided to create a team to run for election at the board of the Belgian Union. Together, they created a new common project and vision (2018-2024) for a better rugby in Belgium.

After two years of loyal commitment (2017-2019), he decided to focus himself fully on his passion: human coaching. He published his first book (“En quête d’essence”) and founded his own approach (“Teamfullness”) in 2018. Since, he has been providing an external view for organizations and sport teams to step back in order to align on their common project, bind humanly and unleash their own magic.

In November 2020, he was joined by Jill Boon (ex-captain of the Belgian Red Panthers - field hockey) in his journey. Together, they share the same beliefs and purpose to support and reveal human beings in their common projects.
