Providing Leadership Through Change & Uncertainty – B2B Trust Series Event – 18 March 2020
**COIVD 19 UPDATE: Event postponed until Thursday 4th June 2020**
It is with great regret that we have decided to postpone the breakfast event on Wednesday 18th March and reschedule to a new date: Thursday 4th June 2020, due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The impact the coronavirus has had on the UK has resulted in many companies advising their staff to work from home and avoid public engagements with more than 15 people. It is only sensible to take precautions at this time which sadly means, our 60+ person lively breakfast event, has to take a back seat until June.
We are sorry for this disruption, and truly hope everything will have settled down by June.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
The popular B2B Debate that explores the role that trust plays in world-class B2B organisations completes its tour of the UK and comes to London.
Providing Leadership Through Change & Uncertainty
Wednesday 18 March
The Hydrant, Monument, London, EC3R 8GB
08:00 Breakfast | 08:30 – 10:30 Event
As leaders, we are faced with ever-increasing demands for change. With little time to plan, this almost perpetual reorganisation can put a strain on people development, motivation and team building.
This insightful event encourages you to think about the leadership challenges you face and the role that trust plays, including:
- How you are coping with constant uncertainty and how this impacts your resilience?
- What level of trust do you have with your key stakeholders and how can you build upon this?
- How do you turn intention into reality with the rise of change initiatives?
- How can you leverage what you know about your team to drive competitive advantage?
