Basketball icon Bill Walton was part of legendary college and NBA championship teams: UCLA, the Boston Celtics and Portland Trail Blazers. He was also part of the last place San Diego Clippers. As Bill learned, and will share with you, the difference between winning and losing is leadership. The best coaches knew how to get the best out of their players. In Bill’s career no one was better than legendary UCLA coach John Wooden. He never talked about winning – and rarely even mentioned the opposing team. But Wooden did insist that players work together, not be selfish, execute flawlessly, and be accountable for doing their best.

Bill, the consummate storyteller, shares tales that are as insightful as they are entertaining – about lessons of leadership he learned from John Wooden, Red Auerbach, Jack Ramsey, and others during his storied career. Bill provides an inside look at how world-class performance is really achieved on the basketball court – sharing leadership and teamwork lessons based on principles that transfer off the court and into your business, too.
