Elite Business Magazine is proud to partner with BizX 2025, where Kevin Sinfield CBE, one of rugby’s most iconic figures, will take centre stage as a keynote speaker. Taking place from April 2-4, 2025, at the Farnborough International Conference Centre, BizX promises to be a transformative event for business owners and leaders seeking fresh perspectives on resilience, leadership and purpose.
Kevin Sinfield’s legendary career with England, GB and Leeds Rhinos is matched only by his achievements off the field. Having raised over £8 million for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) research, inspired by his close friend and former teammate Rob Burrow, Kevin embodies the qualities of leadership, determination and compassion – values that resonate deeply with entrepreneurs and business leaders.
At BizX 2025, Kevin will draw parallels between life in professional sports and the entrepreneurial journey, sharing lessons on overcoming challenges, building resilient teams and navigating transitions in both life and business.
Speaking about his journey, Kevin shares: “The transition from rugby to a new career was a challenge I wasn’t fully prepared for. I thought I knew my path, with two degrees and a plan in place, but retiring changes everything. You have to redefine who you are and embrace new opportunities while navigating the uncertainty that comes with it.
“What helped me most was drawing strength from the people around me – my family, friends and especially Rob Burrow. Watching his courage in the face of MND gave me the inspiration to take risks and find fulfilment in helping others. Leadership isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about building something meaningful and treating people the right way.”
Kevin’s insights on leadership, empathy, and succession planning offer powerful takeaways for business owners. Highlighting the importance of passion and purpose in building sustainable success, he explains: “Winning matters, but how we win matters even more. In every role I’ve taken, my focus has been on treating people well and creating environments where teams can thrive. That’s how legacies are built – not just through success but through the way you lead.”
BizX 2025, powered by ActionCOACH, will feature an array of inspiring keynote speakers, interviews and networking opportunities designed to equip business leaders with the tools to elevate their companies to new heights. Whether you’re looking to transform your leadership style, scale your business or navigate transitions, BizX 2025 is the event you won’t want to miss.
