UP203: John Amaechi OBE

Today’s guest is John Amaechi OBE, the former NBA basketball player who has built a global reputation as an organisational psychologist via his own APS Intelligence consultancy. His book The Promises of Giants was a New York Times bestseller, and is a manifesto for a new type of conversation about leadership. A Chartered Scientist, John was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health and a Research Fellow at the University of East London. If you’ve ever heard John talk about sport and the business that surrounds it, you’ll know this is a topic about which he has very strong and persuasive views. Every episode of Unofficial Partner can be found by using the big podcast providers, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts or via your favourite podcast app. And if you don’t already get the weekly Unofficial Partner newsletter, you can join thousands of busy sports biz execs who receive it direct to their inbox every Thursday, subscribe via unofficialpartner.comUnofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.
