Then Lance Burdett will kick off the conference with an interactive workshop at 3.30pm on navigating the complexities of employee emotions. As leaders, we often find ourselves faced with situations that require a delicate touch – whether it's managing an individual angrier than a hungry bear or supporting someone in moments of personal vulnerability. We'll explore the art of providing help, support, and guidance to our employees in various emotional states. From de-escalating fiery encounters to offering a compassionate response when tears fall, we'll uncover the best steps to take, what to avoid, and how fostering a supportive environment can lead to a more resilient and engaged workforce. Please join us after for networking, drinks and nibbles from 5pm. The bar will remain open into the evening.
