Counter-terrorism and leadership expert to address Retention Convention 2017

Counter-terrorism specialist and leadership expert, Steve Jee, is the latest name to join the list of speakers for this year’s Retention Convention – Great Minds Meet in Manchester.

Jee spent 20 years in the British Army as a military intelligence officer. During this time he served and commanded on counter-terrorism operations in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan, and for this was awarded the Queen’s Commendation for Valuable Service (QCVS). He was also a leadership instructor and mentor at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

“I am so excited to have Steve on board for this year’s Retention Convention,” said Retention Guru, Dr. Paul Bedford. “Steve’s command and leadership skills are second to none and delegates will learn from the best how to disseminate their vision and key messages from the top of the management chain through to the shop floor without dilution or distortion. Steve now coaches businesses on how to ensure you get what you think you’re going to get from your staff, and there will be some valuable lessons for the health and fitness industry.”

Jee has an MA in Strategic Intelligence Management and, since leaving the army, has supported global clients in the media, aviation, telecoms, professional services and alcoholic beverage sectors, as well as the United States and Saudi Governments, with strategy and business change.

Jee said: “Harry S Truman said ‘There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know’ and my presentation will be a case study from ancient history to show how motivating staff and aligning personnel behind a powerful vision are not new challenges.  It will explore how the fitness industry can take ideas from Roman times and apply them to today’s challenges, exploring the type of behaviours we need in the workplace to inspire, align, lead and excel.”

The Retention Convention 2017 will take place at at the Manchester Conference Centre in Sackville Street, Manchester from 9am – 5pm on Thursday 18 May.
