Steve Kerr & Mikel Arteta LIVE: The Leadership Playbook

How do you create a culture your people love to walk into AND still win when it matters most? Recorded LIVE in London on 5 September 2025, 'Steve Kerr & Mikel Arteta: The Leadership Playbook' brings two elite coaches together for a rare, unguarded conversation about modern leadership. Brought to you by Aleda, in collaboration with Live Love Better, Steve and Mikel unpack the jump from player to coach; what clarity really feels like; how to communicate hard truths; and the daily habits that keep a group aligned under pressure. They compare approaches to culture-building (from the guard at the gate to the locker room vibe), managing “difficult” talent, and designing environments where diverse personalities can thrive. Along the way: Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan and Steph Curry; Phil Jackson’s mindfulness; Steve’s letters to players; Pep Guardiola’s decisiveness; the Federer success routine; why authenticity always wins; and how sport can unite people in a divided world. There’s family, perspective, and the simple rituals that refill the tank PLUS audience Q&A on toxic vs. high-impact personalities, mindfulness in high performance, and delivering tough messages with compassion and precision. It’s, quite frankly, awesome!   Learn. Lead. Collaborate. Start your leadership journey today. Head here to find out more about our signature, cross industry collaboration program, Aleda Connect.
