Thriving Through Change: The New Leadership Advantage

The world of work has changed.

"Research by leadership expert Nick Petrie suggests that while the demands placed on leaders have increased dramatically over the past decade, the human capacity to process complexity and recover has not. The result is that many high-performing leaders are operating close to their limits—not because they lack capability, but because the way we work has fundamentally changed."

Yet amidst the challenges of our current relentless work environments, one factor consistently distinguishes organisations that flourish from those that merely survive: the wellbeing of their leaders.

Leaders who can regulate stress, maintain clarity under pressure and model healthy ways of working create stronger cultures, higher engagement and more sustainable performance across their teams.

Join us for an engaging and practical breakfast workshop exploring what it means to lead well—and thrive—in today's complex and demanding business environment.

Drawing on contemporary research in leadership, neuroscience and workplace wellbeing, this session will offer practical insights and evidence-based strategies that leaders can immediately apply to themselves and their organisations.

What we'll explore

✅ Redefining Wellbeing
Explore the concept of whole-person wellbeing and why it has become an essential capability for modern leadership.

✅ Leading Wellbeing from the Inside Out
Understand how a leader's wellbeing directly influences culture, psychological safety, engagement and organisational performance.

✅ Strengthening Your Own Wellbeing
Learn practical techniques to maintain balance, focus and resilience while navigating increasing complexity and competing demands.

✅ Sustainable High Performance
Discover how to cultivate the mindset and behaviours that enable both leaders and teams to perform at a high level—without sacrificing wellbeing or burning out.

Whether you lead an organisation or shape the People and Culture agenda, this complimentary breakfast is an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day, connect with fellow leaders, and invest in the capability that underpins long-term success.

Ticket includes coffee and pastries and networking time is available after 9am for those who wish to stay
