Overview (Program Summary)
The Association of Corporate Counsel Australia, in partnership with Peerpoint by Allen & Overy, are hosting an exclusive, invitation only dinner, on Wednesday, 6 September 2023 at Chiswick Restaurant, Woollahra, with special guest speaker, Kamal Sarma, discussing Why we Need to Unlearn and Relearn: Leadership and Resilience.
He will discuss how fundamental changes in the world related to technology, generations and our attitudes to work have shifted our expectations around leadership. When we pair these changing expectations of leadership with the challenges, constant demands on time, complex decisions, and personalities we all face in our day-to-day, leadership tends to feel all the more complex.
While leadership is an ongoing challenge, it also presents limitless opportunities for growth, including the ability to create a more responsive leadership model. Part of this evolution requires us to unlearn old models of leadership and to apply more effective principles.
Organisational and personal resilience are two of the most powerful traits you can develop and key to high performance work and environment. If we can meet our challenges with the right mindset and skills our well-being and results will flourish. By clearing your mind of repetitive, unhelpful thoughts you can improve your ability to make good decisions. And when you learn how to manage stress and maintain clarity in any situation you positively impact your own life and that of those around you.
Please be aware that this is an invitation only event, with limited seating, so if you are interested in attending, register soon!
