Imposter syndrome – we all feel it. Especially as leaders. We’re supposed to be confident and lead the way for others but the truth is that can pretty daunting. Sarah will share how we can change our relationship with fear and use it as a leadership superpower

The key to great performance is actually quite simple. Focus on ONE thing at a time. Simple concept in theory, hard to action in today’s busy world. And that’s why your competition won’t bother. But if you have the courage the prioritise and focus on the ONE thing that matters right now, you’ll outperform the competition AND you’ll make it look easy

If you want to keep growing (faster than the competition) you need to be prepared to innovate and take risk… which means there will be setbacks. We can leverage that to accelerate growth.

But creating a culture where everyone does this is easier said than done. Some might think the answer is to make everyone feel SAFE. But that’s only part of the story. We also need our teams to be brave and own up to their mistakes. Sarah will show you how.

What’s the first thing that falls off the radar when we’re busy? Self care.

That’s why busy people need to be resilient. But…people are stronger than they think. Even during difficulty. In fact especially during difficulty. Our job as leaders isn’t to rescue them when things get difficult. It’s to believe in them.

Twenty years ago being a leader was about being the loudest and most charismatic person in the room. It was about leading like-minded people. But we now know the best teams are not made of like-minded people. Sarah will share how we can lead inclusively and with credibility in the new era.
