This weekend I was lucky enough to witness a fine example of how ‘team work makes the dream work’ when Barnsley Football Club were promoted to the Championship from League One after a 3-1 defeat over Millwall at Wembley. Considering the team were bottom of the league in December 2015, it’s unbelievable what they have achieved in such a short time and in such a spectacular way. What a leader the care-taker manager Paul Heckingbottom has turned out to be. Pulling together, working hard, dedication and of course…skills. A fantastic achievement and a day to be proud of. Everyone wants that fairytale ending…and sometimes it can happen!

Taking inspiration from the leaders and mentors in my life, some not so great and some truly fantastic
