The Jürgen Approach - Liverpool 8th September 2026

An interactive workshop exploring Klopp’s leadership legacy, with plenty of habits you can take back to your professional game.

Who's it for?

Leaders, managers and anyone who cares about workplace culture. No football knowledge required!

What to expect

A brave space to connect with other local professionals who care about workplace culture and leadership, and talk honestly about what’s working and where the challenges lie.

An interactive session that gives you room to reflect on your own practice and learn from others in the room.

Practical takeaways you can put into action as soon as you’re back at your desk.

Themes Covered

Based on Jürgen Klopp's leadership legacy at Liverpool FC, we'll unpack seven principles and what they mean for your organisation.
Data with a wider lens. Most organisations look at numbers through a single window. What else counts as data, and what might you be missing?
A plan people actually know about. Klopp's approach was 30% tactics, 70% relationships. How clearly is your plan communicated, and who's genuinely bought in?
Psychological safety. The best teams admit mistakes faster. In professional services, this matters more than almost anywhere else.
Relentless inclusivity. From cleaners to physios, everyone at Liverpool had a part to play. Does everyone in your organisation feel the same?
Increasing capability. Jordan Henderson said Klopp made everyone around him better. What would it take for your people to say that about you?
A team of leaders. The strongest Liverpool sides had leaders everywhere, not just the captain. How do you build that deliberately in a business?
Reputation & roots. Klopp became a pillar of the community, boosting local pride and identity and advocating for inclusivity. What's your organisation's footprint beyond its walls?

What people are saying about our events

What Gemma and Hetal are building with Heart Leadership is something rare. It’s not an add-on. It’s a reimagining. A space where courage, vulnerability, and joy are part of the agenda, not just the atmosphere

What an amazing day! And what an incredible community you created❣️ I keep remembering nuggets of wisdom and inspiration - an inspired panel of speakers. Most of all though, I was struck by the atmosphere and the feeling in the room. That is testament to your partnership: authentic, caring, intentional, aligned. A living example of what is possible for us all. It all starts with ‘who’ … so I acknowledge you Gemma Ellison and Hetal Hathiwala 🏆 Thanks for who you are being in the world.

We knew Gemma Ellison & Hetal Hathiwala were a talented duo, but what they brought us yesterday was VERY special. The entire Stribe team is still buzzing. A whole room full of incredible people with one big thing in common - the desire to lead bravely and optimistically.
