April 9, 1917 — Canadian troops lead a critical Allied attack on a formidable German stronghold, capturing the hill and shattering the enemy line in spectacular fashion. Thoughtful and thorough strategy, courageous and well-trained soldiers, and the skillful leadership of heroes like General Sir Arthur Currie are directly credited for the success

Portraying General Sir Arthur Currie is Dr. John Pellowe, who teaches team-building and organizational effectiveness in this dramatic keynote presentation. John is passionate about developing and delivering leadership strategies to public audiences.

Join the Work Research Foundation and John Pellowe in the striking presentation Leadership Lessons from Vimy Ridge. John Pellowe briefs the audience on strategies to build their teams, enhance organizational effectiveness and inspire all management levels (executives, managers and supervisors) to achieve extraordinary results.
