New & Necessary Leadership Styles for Today

All too often working parenthood or caring is seen in terms of deficit - getting the job done despite the demands and distractions of raising children or looking after adult dependants. But there are many transferable skills, and these are increasingly being celebrated today as wider family commitments and values find their way into more conversations on work-life integration. In this session, we ask what effective ‘leadership’ looks like and why some of the previously acceptable ways now need to be disrupted or renewed. We explore practical strategies for reflecting on the role caring responsibilities play in enabling personal growth and clarity of perspective - essential for now, when our values and motivation are in the spotlight more than ever.
