Workshop One
Leading From the Inside Out
How to Build Self-Awareness for Real Impact
90-Minute Workshops to Reset, Recharge and Refocus your Leadership
4pm BST | 5pm CEST | 11am EDT | 8am PDT
The data tells us that Self-awareness is a leadership essential. In a world where trust, clarity and confidence are under pressure, leaders need to understand how they come across to others - not just what they do.
This practical, energising 90-minute session helps you understand the impact you have on others, the mindset that's driving you, and what you can shift to become more intentional and effective.
Led by Open Water | People and Change, Co-founder and leadership specialist Ben Shoshan, this session is built on 27 years of real-world experience from working with leaders across global life sciences organisations.
