About This Event

The Leading with Heart and Mind™ event will take place on 13 October 2026 at NatWest, 4th Floor, Apex House in Reading. Priced at £5.00, this business-focused gathering offers attendees the chance to explore strategies for unlocking full leadership potential while connecting with various speakers. The day's programme is designed to provide a structured environment for professional networking and insight sharing among participants.

Discover how to unlock your full leadership potential

This inspiring and interactive two-hour workshop offers an introduction to the Leading with Heart and Mind™ approach. A powerful way of leading ourselves and others with greater emotional intelligence, self-awareness, resilience and compassion.

Whether you're a leader, business owner, manager, team member or simply someone who wants to develop personally, this session will provide practical tools that you can begin using immediately.

During this introductory workshop we'll explore:

Why performance rarely equals potential and the role that interference plays in limiting our success

The importance of developing your inner environment, because while external challenges exist, what happens between our ears has the greatest influence on how we respond

How our thoughts shape our emotions, behaviours and results

The balance between leading with both heart (compassion, empathy and connection) and mind (clarity, wisdom and purposeful action)

Simple techniques to reduce stress, increase self-awareness and build emotional resilience

This workshop is practical, reflective and engaging, offering opportunities to pause, think differently and leave feeling inspired with tools you can immediately apply in your work and everyday life.

This workshop is ideal for:

Leaders and managers

Business owners and entrepreneurs

HR and people professionals

Teams looking to improve communication and wellbeing

Anyone wanting to build confidence, resilience and emotional intelligence

What you'll leave with:

Greater self-awareness

Practical tools to manage your inner dialogue

A fresh perspective on performance and wellbeing

Greater confidence to respond rather than react

Inspiration to lead yourself and others with greater authenticity, compassion and clarity

A taste of something bigger...

This introductory session provides a glimpse into the wider Leading with Heart and Mind™ programmes, designed to support individuals, teams and organisations in creating healthier cultures, stronger relationships and sustainable high performance.

Because when we change the environment within, we transform the way we lead, work, communicate and live.

Lead yourself well... and everything else begins to change.

Our sincere thanks to Apex for hosting this upcoming session in their building.
