This session aims to empower you to embrace leadership in all its forms, regardless of where you are in your career.
Caroline will share tools, real life examples and practical techniques that are guaranteed to help you think differently about how to be an effective leader.
The truth is that leading teams, influencing others and, more importantly, leading yourself, are all skills that we learn. No one is born with a leadership gene or is a ‘natural’ leader!
We can all learn the skills of leadership. There is no doubt that having demonstrable leadership skills can give you the edge at work. So developing leadership capabilities from the outset of your career makes good sense and this workshop will get you off to a flying start.
Key Topics:
* The concept of leadership in all roles: it’s not about titles, it’s about action
* Building credibility and trust as a new leader
* Leading outside of authority through influence: motivating peers and team members
* The importance of emotional intelligence in leadership
* Your leadership blueprint plan

Certain trade agreements allow goods to enter the market with preferential or zero duty, depending on the “origin” of their goods.
For example, if 50% of the good is domestically made, it will have favoured access to S. Korea. As members of the EU, European content counts as domestically sourced, so Brexit will have significant implications.

The learner will know:
