Commitment

• The difference between a stand and a position, and why it matters.
• What Commitment looks like.
• Finding the signal amongst the noise.
• Fear, Love and courage.
• Hope over optimism, and the leader’s role.

Humble Confidence

• When ego gets in our way – and the source of the antidote.
• How to be significant.
• Being yourself.
• Leading when we don’t know the answer and empowering the collective genius.

Belonging

• Nurturing a sense of belonging – and why that matters.
• Responsibility over accountability.
• When the pressure is on: response over reaction.
• Handing over control at scale.
