SESSION ONE

How do we hold onto our new-found freedom in
the new normal?

COVID has had a profound impact on us all in different ways, yet it has also allowed us to stop, reflect and think about what matters most. So, how has COVID changed us and ultimately what will it mean for us moving forward? How do we find a balance between purpose and freedom in our new normal?

Join Alison Strasser in conversation with Virginia Mansell, as they lead a discussion on understanding our new sense of freedom, and the importance that anxiety plays on helping us form our decisions.

SESSION TWO

What's in a number? The balance between EQ &
IQ during uncertainty

In the face of ongoing unprecidented uncertainty, is it our emotional capacity or our intelligence which gets us through? How do we develop leaders with the right balance between EQ and IQ to be able to lead successfully in times of change and uncertainty?

Joined in conversation with Virginia Mansell and Dr Be Pannell, participants will discuss the components of EQ & IQ and how each have an effect on others around us.

SESSION THREE

Interpersonal Leadership in the Time of COVID-19

Applying attachment theory to our workplaces, can help to highlight the connection people feel with each other. When this connection is broken suddenly, especially in the case of COVID, anxiety around how to interact effectively is heightened.

So, How do you lead effectly without the interpersonal feedback and interaction usually present in a face to face environment?

Joined in conversation with Virginia Mansell and Dr Coral Brown, participants will discuss the complexities of relating to each other in different ways and how insight can make us better leaders, managers, team members and employees.
