Join Pure and Birketts at our People Leaders Lab – a programme of events for HR professionals and business to come together.

Leadership Presence: practical strategies to support resourcefulness, growth and performance for leaders and teams

Leadership presence as a concept will often focus on what is visible – a leader’s personal style, body language and confidence – and what this means for the leader’s performance and progression. In this session we will explore what else becomes possible for leaders, teams and colleagues when we use a different lens.

Join Birketts (https://www.birketts.co.uk/)and Pure Resourcing Solutions (https://www.prsg.co.uk/) for a practical and interactive session that takes a relational, emotional intelligence-led approach to leadership presence. We will explore how this approach enables resourcefulness, growth and performance for leaders, teams and others, and the impact of this ripple effect on trust and psychological safety.
