Uspire L.I.V.E. - Leading In Volatile Environments

7 April, 2022 10:00 am - 3:30 pm Mary Ward House, 5-7 Tavistock Place, London, WC1H 9SN

Why Uspire L.I.V.E.?

How do you help your people navigate with certainty when the volatile world is swirling around us?

The leaders we speak to tell us they are at war with change. They are constantly being pulled into the frontline muck and bullets, and never have a plan of action fixed for long. It’s exhausting to manage, and gut instinct leadership only gets them so far.

With no end in sight to the chaos, what capabilities and skills do you need to help you live in this volatile environment?

Join Uspire and guest speakers, Floyd Woodrow and Emma Stroud, and explore the military acronym “VUCA” the antidote to leading in volatile, uncertain, complex & ambiguous times.

Who is it for?

CEOs/MDs - view your strategic planning through the VUCA lens
Business Owners - understand how to react with agility to our increasingly volatile business environment
Senior Leaders - prepare your teams to respond to a VUCA environment
