Leaders of Change Worksop Series
Cultural change specialist and Peaky Blinders actor David Chabeaux is delivering these free workshops.
These half-day workshops are built around the mindsets, skill sets and toolsets needed for leading lasting change at the personal, team and organisational / cultural level and each session is proven to be “focused, exciting, energetic, hands on, participative, practical and immediately useful”.
There are strong links between the two sessions each day, yet all six sessions can stand alone. They offer a distinct focus so that you can choose to attend just one session or multiple ones. If time allows, then the entire three days will provide you with a comprehensive set of skills and awareness for full personal, team and organisational change.
The workshops take place at The Bridge Skills Hub, a brand new state of the art venue in Bassetlaw, Worksop on the following dates:
- 3 Aug, 9.30am - 12.30pm, Creativity and Innovation. NOW!
