Mini Leadership Labs

Lab A: Resilience in High-Pressure Environments
The rules keep changing. Priorities shift. Teams are stretched thin. Learn how to lead decisively through ambiguity, protect momentum when others are burning out, and stay anchored when the pressure builds.

Lab B: Building Authentic Executive Presence and Self-Belief
Develop your leadership confidence by understanding how to back yourself, speak with authority, and position yourself for progression.

Penny George, Director of Corporate Affairs, AstraZeneca

Lab C: Leading Inclusion with Impact
Build the confidence and capability to lead inclusively, challenge bias, and drive a culture of equity—wherever you sit in the organisation.

Lab D: Leading High-Performing Teams

Unpack what it really takes to build and sustain a team that consistently delivers results.
