Showing Up
Michelle Ockers | Founder & Chief Learning Strategist, Learning Uncut
Tony Sloman | Director, Passion & Purpose
Learning professionals have long aspired to have a bigger impact in their organisations. In response to the uncertainty and challenges faced in 2020, many of the barriers that blocked this aspiration dropped. Learning strategy shifted significantly as did the way learning is perceived in many organisations.
What is needed to preserve and leverage the gains made? Now is our time...if we 'show up'.
Michelle and Tony will share their personal and professional journey; what they have learned about courage and confidence through circumstances that have tested their limits and how this enables them to show up. They invite you to reflect on your own journey and awaken courage in yourself to show up, embrace your vulnerability and to have impact amidst uncertainty.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- How to embrace uncertainty and vulnerability.
- How to tap into your journey to awaken courage and confidence.
- How the way you 'show up' impacts others.
