The essential ways effective leaders in our region are empowering their teams

In this special Lunch and Learn we share with you how the leaders we have worked with have become more effective, compassionate, and are empowering their teams.

Over the past six months we have worked with over 70 leaders across York and North Yorkshire as part of our Conversations4Change programme and we will be sharing their learnings, insights and reflections.

Looking at leadership in a fresh, but practical way, we will share key practices that you can put into place straightaway that will make a difference to you personally, for your team and for your organisation; helping you create the conditions required to help your team think things through for themselves, find their own answers and move forward with confidence.

We will also be drawing on the evaluation from year 1 that was conducted in partnership with York St John University. We will discuss one of our key findings, what happened when leaders slowed down, focused on the quality of their conversations and stopped trying to fix everything themselves.

We will also be sharing our Year 2 Conversations4Change programme, a new suite of fully funded programmes, for employers in York and North Yorkshire, designed to give more leaders the time, space and tools to lead in a way that makes a difference. Y

ou will be the first to hear all about it and you’ll be able to secure one of the limited number of places. If you're a leader who wants to empower your team, spend less time fixing and firefighting, and build a culture where people genuinely thrive, this conversation is for you.
