Lead with Purpose Put emotional intelligence into action Ben Renshaw Tuesday 17 April 9.30am-12pm Regent Street Cinema
What is your purpose? This is the most important question you can ever ask and the answer will shape your future. In our complex, fast paced and uncertain world most of us are too busy tackling our to-do lists to figure out our ultimate purpose. We operate on autopilot with a tendency to repeat habits which can undermine the very outcomes they are trying to achieve. It’s only when you discover your big why that you’ll become purpose-led and able to create a roadmap to guide you in the direction you want to travel. This event provides the opportunity to accelerate your learning and development and realise your potential in work, life and relationships.
About Ben Renshaw Ben Renshaw is one of today’s foremost leadership thinkers. His latest book LEAD! inspires you to be the best leader you can be. Based on developing top-level leaders in major companies like Coca-Cola, Heathrow, Heinz, IHG, Sky and Unilever, Ben infuses his work with the real business at hand: how to lead with purpose and authenticity in order to maximise your leadership impact.

Nudge How small changes make a big difference Dr David Halpern Tuesday 11 September 1.30-4pm LSO St Luke’s
We make countless decisions every day but we don’t always make the right choices.

At this event, he will take us inside their work to show how you can use behavioural and evaluative approaches to nudge others in the right direction for business success.
