Courageous conversations: stop paying the silence tax

Most organisations now measure engagement carefully, but measurement only reveals the gap; it doesn't close it. When leaders avoid the courageous conversations that shape culture, organisations pay a "silence tax": lost productivity, quiet disengagement and conflict that festers.

Join Birketts and Pure Resourcing Solutions for an engaging, interactive session built around forum theatre: a live scene performed by professional actor-coaches that you can pause, question, and replay.

This session will be facilitated by Syrus Lowe (https://www.linkedin.com/in/syruslowe) and Antony Quinn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/antonyq), Co-Founders of The Communication Practice (https://thecommunicationpractice.com). Syrus is a RADA-trained actor with over 20 years as one of the UK's leading corporate role-play specialists, and author of An Actor's Guide to Corporate Role Play (https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/actors-guide-to-corporate-role-play-9781350289901). Antony is a software engineer turned improv actor.

Through live theatre, peer discussion and practical application, you'll:

See a courageous conversation play out, and explore what gets in the way

Rewind and test different approaches, seeing how each one lands

Identify ideas you can put into practice straight away

Why join us: Whether you're a manager, HR professional or team leader, you'll leave with a fresh, practical view of what makes these conversations succeed or fail, and approaches you can use the next day.

Audience: HR professionals, team leaders and managers.

Registration: Spaces are limited, so please reserve your spot today. The cost of your ticket (£10) will be donated to our chosen charity, the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity (https://www.arhc.org.uk/).
