LEADERSHIP

Bring the Boom! Mindset

Delivered by Scott Morrison, Founder, the Boom!

You are an ambitious leader. You live to create impact. And, in this increasingly uncertain world, never has there been a better time to make that real. BUT - sometimes, things hold you back. You are not sure what they are, but they are there. And they are not easy to shift. Because uncertainty, change, opportunity and impact are uncomfortable bedfellows. They shift, shuffle and push each other, jostling for space. The challenge is that space is your mind. Impact is key - and, most importantly, the mindset that gets you there is not the mindset that you are in a lot of the time. The Boom! Mindset and it's annoying sibling, the Bust Mindset will power you up through.

This session covers, the clarity of Unblock, Unlock, Unleash, as a mindset shifting leadership tool, the competitive edge of the Impact Pyramid, simple tools and tricks to shift your mindset from Bust thinking to Boom! action. Don't go Bust, go Boom!

Strengthen Your Leadership Brand

Delivered by Allyson Stewart-Allen, CEO, International Marketing Partners Ltd

Surprisingly, few marketing and other executives are aware that taking charge of how they’re perceived makes them more intentional, human and empathetic. In this Power Hour, Allyson divulges how to tell your leadership story, reveal your values and choose a proxy brand in order to change perceptions and engage others intentionally.  By beginning with the end in mind, a leader can recalibrate what they want others to think and feel when they’re not in the room, thus changing their reputations for the better.

The key take outs include the ability to build trust more effectively with internal and external stakeholders, a clearer articulation of the leadership brand, a compelling leadership story to engage individuals and teams across and outside the organisation, a more intentional plan for how to manage reputation in order to advance your career within and beyond the current organisation as well as the ability to build and sustain high performing teams.

Slow the f down to speed up

Delivered by Emma Harris, Founder and Chief, Glow London

There aren’t many keynote speeches that can really change lives in 30 minutes. Emma Harris’ #slowthefuckdown gives the audience a wake-up call to how our relentless pursuit of more and a lack of awareness of what drives our behaviours can lead to us living unfulfilled lives. Emma’s shocking story of how a near-death experience changed her perspective takes the audience on a journey of self-discovery, helping them connect with their own thought processes and giving them tools and strategies that enable them to make choices that better serve their needs and desires. Using a combination of science, psychological theory and humour, Emma makes her lessons both simple and relatable, leaving the audience with a clear understanding of how to change their approach to living and help them live more fulfilled lives.

Leading Through Change

Delivered by Emma Harris, Founder and Chief, Glow London

There’s no doubt that the business world is in a state of perpetual change. Data and technology is driving a truck through every element of our working lives and never before has the pace of change been so aggressive. However, 70% of change initiatives fail, largely due to employee resistance not being managed effectively by leaders. Using a combination of NLP techniques, DiSC personality profiling, high performance principles and well-established theories on change, Leading Through Change is a comprehensive guide to change including: a theoretical understanding of what happens to people during a time of change, different ways to support them at different phases how to meet the needs of different personality preferences.

How to make better decisions when you - like the rest of us - are time-poor

Delivered by Mark Earls, HERDmeister

Time is money, they say. Since the dawning of the industrial age, we've used Clock Time as our guiding principle - in business and in our personal lives. Go faster, remove waste and optimise, optimise, optimise. From Henry Ford to Amazon warehouses. Everywhere Clocks give us the hurry-up: in our phones, watches, iPads, laptops, fridges, in every app we use, in every email and every message. And yet...the more we measure time, the less time we seem to have: the modern world is characterised by extreme time-poverty. Few of us in the marketing world ever get to the bottom of our to-do lists. And this is serious: persistent time-poverty is terrible for us in so many ways: it damages our mental and physical health and our relationships. But more importantly it reduces the quality of our decision making. So what to do? Productivity apps will help a bit but the real wins come from our species' unique ability to do mental time travel: to move back and forth with our imaginations; to see other worlds and other perspectives (e.g. through the wardrobe). In this 24/7, always on world, we need to rethink Time. This session covers three practical ways to think differently about time: how to think better about the future, how to unshackle yourself from the past and how to get everyone's times aligned.

How people choose (and how you can tell quickly)

How do we or people generally choose this kind of thing? Seems like a straight-forward question perhaps but all too often we get lost in the particulars of the customer journey: we struggle to see the woods for the trees. Asking "What kind of thing is it?" allows us to triage, just as ER professionals do. And triaging allows us to find and apply - Copy Copy Copy - solutions from unusual places, rapido style. Fast, furious, fun. This hour will help your team do so qualitatively and practice finding solutions. If you don't know what kind of behaviour or choice you're trying to change, how can you hope to be effective? You're shooting blind. If you don't know what kind of thing you're trying to influence, then you're unlikely to be successful in doing so.

This session will share what you need, a good map and some local knowledge about how to traverse understanding how people choose.

The co-author of The Disruption Game Plan is also faculty member at Kings College London and Duke Corporate Education Executive MBA programs.

High-Stakes Conversations – Getting to a Yes

Delivered by David Kean, co-founder of the growth acceleration consultancy, Catalyst and best-selling author.

In business, we all have high-stakes conversations – those pivotal moments when the outcome of a conversation carries significant consequences. Consequences such as securing investment, negotiating a contract, getting the board’s backing for an initiative, aligning stakeholders, winning a pitch or handling conflict.

High-stake conversations are characterised by multiple sensitivities, high emotional, political and time pressure, competing interests, uncertainty, risk and a high cost for failure. Which is why so many businesspeople struggle with them – they fear failure, lack practice and haven’t been trained. This Insider session offers guidance to executive teams to overcome the most common issues executives face with high-stake negotiations and to help them develop the tools of listening, creating rapport and persuasion. It teaches techniques used in hostage negotiation, behavioural science and advising leaders on high-stakes conversations in both governmental and private sector organisations.

Participants will learn how to:

• prepare for high-stakes conversations
• plan and improvise
• read the room
• connect with the audience
• manage pressure and emotions
• manage power dynamics
• frame arguments and structure conversations

David Kean has world-class credentials in high-stakes conversations. He teaches persuasion at London Business School’s Launchpad programme for entrepreneurs and at top international companies, is editor-in-chief of the Work Smarter Series (Hachette International), author of The Work Smarter Guide Playbook for Persuasion, The Work Smarter Guide to Sales, and Pitching To Win and was described by Business Life magazine as ‘the best persuasion coach around’.

BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE

Any business challenge is a behaviour change challenge. Let's leverage science to impact behaviour.

Delivered by Phil Barden, Managing Director, DECODE marketing

Consumers don't read our strategy papers, the only strategy they see is our execution. How can we make sure that execution, across touchpoints, is motivating and 'brain-friendly'? We can do this by leveraging the key principles by which the brain responds to stimuli i.e. Attention (will people see it?), Intuition (will they 'get' it?) and Motivation (will they want it?). The brain operates to known, and universal, principles. If we harness these, our activities will become more effective and efficient.

In this session, we explore how behavioural science knows how people 'work'. Learn how to turn behavioural science insights into brand management best practices, from strategy to execution, Using real-world examples to bring these principles to life, we'll look at best practice and watch-outs.
