Part of The Leading Note series:

A series of motivational talks featuring remarkable individuals from diverse fields. Discover their strategies and mindsets that drive success—and how to apply them both professionally and personally. In music, the leading note is the final note before the keynote of the scale. Unlike a keynote talk, which represents the main idea or conclusion, these leading note talks explore the path and momentum that guide you there—an ideal metaphor for talks focused on strategies that drive success.

Overview

This FREE lunchtime talk explores the impact and outcomes of ‘managing or leading’ individuals and teams.

It helps individuals who are stepping up to a leadership role to identify effective strategies and understand the impact of their personal style and behaviours, so that they can have the best impact on both personal and organisational performance.

For those already in a leadership role we will share case studies and research that identifies best practice to enable leaders to become the best they can be.

The talk will show how, if we allow others in our teams to dream more, learn more and become more, through empowerment and coaching, we will improve the culture of the organisation, supporting sustainable improvement in areas such as wellbeing, safety, retention and recruitment, productivity, sustainability and risk.

This training course is part of our collection of Leadership & Management Training Courses which focus on leadership, innovation, strategy, communication, finance, problem solving and conflict management, to name a few key areas.

Who should attend?

This session is relevant for existing leaders and managers, as well as those new or aspiring to a management role, who want to achieve greater success by enhancing their leadership skills through adopting an engaging and caring approach to leadership by looking through a more holistic lens.

Kevin Hard
Inspiration-all

I believe that organisations led by emotionally intelligent leaders at all levels, whilst underpinned by a culture of care, can drive engagement. The output from engagement includes improved metrics on safety, wellbeing, quality, productivity, CSR, sustainability, retention, recruitment and reduced organisational risk.

I’m a motivational speaker for organisations such as the Institute of Directors (IoD), Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), British Safety Council (BSC), Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) amongst others. I also speak at company events on leadership and culture.

I have a thorough understanding of risk and change management, essential for ensuring the successful implementation of cultural improvement programmes. The successful implementation of any programme, often hinges on the ability to engage, influence and work with numerous key stakeholders, including senior leadership teams and others.

Key talk topics:

Modern leadership
Employee engagement
Culture change
