Events

We offer a diverse and engaging series of virtual and in-person events for all members of the change community. We look forward to welcoming you!

Attend member-exclusive speaker events, seminars & workshops (in-person and virtual) and podcasts designed to help build your change capability and skills. Meet global like-minded professionals to exchange ideas and find a local or specialist network to suit your needs. All our virtual events are recorded for on-demand exclusive access for members.

How many talks have you been to where you’ve nodded along, felt inspired in the moment… and then gone back to doing exactly the same as before? This two-part event is designed to break that cycle.

Lee Houghton is a leadership coach, operational excellence specialist, and author of The People Puzzle. He’s helped senior leaders and teams across industries unlock performance by solving the real challenge: people.

In the first of two sessions, Lee introduces the L.I.E. framework:

  • Listen: how to connect when everyone is different
  • Involve: the art of collaboration and co-creation
  • Engage: unlocking the heads, hearts, and hands of your people

 

Then comes the difference: Part 2. We’ll return to reflect, share, and celebrate what you’ve actually done differently between the sessions. Real learning. Real action. Real change.

If you want to stop seeing people as the problem and start understanding them as the puzzle, this is the event for you.

This is a two-part series.
