Former Olympic champion, Sally Gunnell presents a range of practical ways to improve physical health and psychological wellbeing. You will leave inspired and equipped with tips, tools and strategies to be more healthy, resilient and achieve greater work-life balance.
Great leaders are not defined by specific personality traits or traditional labels. Today, Richard Reeves argues, we need to embrace individuality. Great organisations encourage diversity in their leaders and their people, championing diversity across gender, race, social class and personality.
About Sally Gunnell Sally Gunnell won gold in the 400m hurdles at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and broke the world record at the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart. Since retiring in 1997, Sally has been a broadcaster and campaigner for better health and wellbeing.
About Richard Reeves Richard Reeves is a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. Richard’s previous roles include director of the think-tank Demos and director of futures at the Work Foundation. He is co-author of The 80 Minute MBA.
How do you attract the right people, keep them, and inspire them to do their best work? Gareth Jones will identify the six key organisational attributes that create a great workplace. He’ll illustrate, with examples, the kind of strong, attractive workplace cultures that lead to sustained high performance. About Gareth Jones Gareth Jones’s career has spanned both the academic and business worlds. This includes time spent at London Business School and Henley; also as director of human resources and internal communications at the BBC.

We all have different skills, talents and personality traits. Consequently, as managers and leaders we are all very distinct characters. In this interactive and highly reflective session, you’ll discover how to assess your strengths and weaknesses to transform your leadership.
We’re all taught to talk. Very few of us are taught to listen. Yet all effective communication starts with listening and it makes all the difference in business. Richard Mullender will equip you with elite-level listening skills so you’re ready for that next important conversation.
