Leading through constant change is one of the main challenges of business as usual
Organisational flux can destabilise teams and amplify pressure on leaders. Our evolutionary biology still drives our modern body and brain, and we can struggle to adapt to accelerated demands and rapid change cycles.
Meanwhile, every leader needs to build a disruption-ready team.
The thought-provoking keynote, Ready for anything leadership: hardwiring adaptability at work, acknowledges the challenges of leading through uncertainty and better equips leaders to stay steady and show up powerfully whilst tolerating ongoing complexity.
This insightful and practical session with internationally respected executive presence expert Sharon Longridge explores:
-
The neuroscience of uncertainty: cognitive responses to change
-
Adaptive capacity: techniques to enhance leadership resilience
-
Intentional presence: amplify influence amidst uncertainty
From mirror neurons to polyvagal theory, participants decode and discuss unconscious behaviours that impact teams experiencing extensive change. Each participant identifies what they need to stay steady within the flux.
