The Talks on Entrepreneurial Leadership (TELL) were initiated by students of London Business School in 2009 to focus on European entrepreneurship. TELL offers inspiring talks for new and seasoned entrepreneurs and investors, and creates a forum for the exchange of ideas.
Creel Price (“The One Thing to Win at the Game of Business: Master the Art of Decisionship,” 2012) writes about London Business School’s ‘real-world’ approach to whetting the entrepreneurial drive may have led to the development of forums like TELL.

Each talk lasts about an hour, including the keynote speaker’s presentation (approximately 45 minutes) and a question and a question and answer period (about 15 minutes) thereafter.
