Public Webinars
Building capacity for our new reality – Come join us!
During lockdown last year we initiated a series of high-impact, content-rich, webinars designed to add real business value to our clients and wider community. We offered these on a complimentary basis and they became a very popular and convenient way to access the ideas of international thought leaders and leave with practical tools to support working in the new virtual world.
Since then, we have received numerous requests to pick them up again as well as run these sessions in-house for clients. So that’s what we’re doing! Each Wednesday morning at 09:00 we’ll bring you cutting-edge ideas and content that will support you along your own learning journey. Attend as many as you like and feel free to share these with anyone you feel will find value.
We invite you to register for one or more of our webinars. Feel free to share the details with others you think may benefit, including young leaders. These sessions are also available in-house.

HOW THE BEST LEADERS MAKE EVERYONE SMARTER
LIZ WISEMANS MULTIPLIERS™ LEADERSHIP
09:00-09:55 – Wednesday, 29th September 2021
We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first are Diminishers, leaders who drain intelligence, energy and capability, and who need to be seen as the smartest person in the room. The second are the Multipliers, leaders who use their own intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them. When these leaders walk into a room, light bulbs go off, ideas flow and problems get solved. The world needs more Multipliers, especially now, when leaders are expected to do more with far less.
In this introductory session, you will be exposed to Liz Wiseman’s Multipliers™ theory, taking away valuable insights that can be immediately used back at work. This is an ideal opportunity for any leader to get key insights into how to foster inclusivity, attract and retain talent, and achieve superior business results by leveraging the capacity of the entire team.
BUILDING CULTURE THROUGH INCLUSIVE MEETINGS
DE BONO SIX THINKING HATS
09:00-09:55 – Wednesday 6th October 2021
Doubtlessly, meetings take up a huge amount of executive and leader time, however, are leaders really getting the maximum value and participation of all the people in the room. Bias, distractions, new ways of work and loud voices can easily drown out the contribution of others, resulting in a less than optimal result and low levels of buy in. According to Harvard Business Review, one of the best ways to build an inclusive culture is to start with inclusive meetings.
This introductory webinar will share a powerful, proven and practical framework for ensuring diversity and inclusion in meetings. This is ideal for leaders who need to get the best contribution from all team members. Based on de Bono’s parallel thinking concepts, you will leave with a framework that can be easily and immediately applied in your very next meeting.

You’ll leave with tools that we guarantee will have an immediate impact and take you one step closer to communicating with clarity, brevity, and impact.
