SUMMARY:The Curious Leader: Leading with integrity in complex systems
DESCRIPTION:Resilience is often presented as something individuals simply need more of. Yet when organisations experience continual change\, uncertainty and political complexity\, resilience cannot be reduced to personal toughness. \nThis session explores resilience as something created through relationships\, environments and everyday practices. Participants will learn how to sustain their energy\, navigate organisational politics with integrity and create psychologically safer spaces for themselves and those around them\, even when the wider system feels unpredictable. \nRather than encouraging people to simply “cope better”\, this webinar offers practical tools to remain effective\, authentic and well while working within complex organisational realities. \nLearning Objectives\n \n\nUnderstand resilience as a dynamic system rather than a fixed personal trait.\nApply practical approaches to creating “pockets of safety” within teams\, even when wider organisational conditions feel uncertain.\nDevelop political awareness and stakeholder insight while maintaining personal integrity and values.\nStrengthen collective resilience through everyday team practices that promote trust\, openness and mutual support.

SUMMARY:The Curious Leader: Working Wisely with AI
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence has moved beyond novelty. For many professionals\, AI tools are now embedded in daily work\, yet uncertainty remains about how to use them effectively\, ethically and wisely. \nThis practical and interactive session moves beyond “how to prompt” and explores how leaders can use AI as a thinking partner while strengthening\, rather than replacing\, human judgement. \nParticipants will discover how AI can enhance creativity\, decision-making\, communication and productivity without losing the critical thinking\, empathy and ethical reasoning that remain uniquely human. \nLearning Objectives \n\nUnderstand how AI is changing knowledge work and leadership practice.\nRecognise where AI adds value and where human judgement remains essential.\nDevelop better prompting strategies that encourage deeper thinking rather than superficial answers.\nAppreciate the risks of cognitive offloading and maintain critical thinking when working with AI.\nBuild confidence in having open conversations with teams about AI opportunities and concerns.\nDesign a practical 30-day curiosity AI experiment to improve one aspect of their own work.

SUMMARY:L&M Framework Regional CoP
DESCRIPTION:To support planning for implementation of the Management and Leadership Framework across the region we have offered a Community of Practice (CoP) since January 2026. This will now continue\, as a whole region CoP as we move toward launch of the framework. \nThe CoP is open to all staff working across the region to support implementation of the framework within their own organisations\, and is open to all health organisations across the region. Each CoP will have a theme to structure conversations and exploration of ideas such as appraisals\, data and activity reporting\, recruitment strategies etc. \nNB: These sessions are not intended to support individuals seeking to use the framework within their own development\, or line managers supporting their teams through self-assessment and goal setting. The focus will be on strategic organisational implementation\, with an assumption that all attendees have established a baseline understanding of the framework and its aims. \nPlease be aware that joining instructions for this event will be sent out seven days before the scheduled day.\nIf you register with the waiting list\, please hold this date in your diary as last minute cancellations may happen. We’ll do our best to give as much notice as we can should a place become available.

SUMMARY:The Curious Leader: Leading with intention in an interrupted world
DESCRIPTION:Today’s leaders are expected to think strategically\, solve complex problems\, inspire innovation and make high-quality decisions\, often while moving from meeting to meeting with barely enough time to refill a coffee. The challenge is not simply a lack of time. It is a lack of transition. \nThis highly practical session introduces the concept of thresholds\, intentional rituals that help us shift from one way of thinking to another. Drawing on research from psychology\, neuroscience and anthropology\, participants will learn how small\, deliberate practices can reduce cognitive overload\, improve focus and create the conditions for deeper thinking. \nRather than asking people to find more hours in the day\, this session helps them make better use of the moments between tasks\, conversations and decisions. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand how attention residue and continual context switching reduce cognitive performance.\nRecognise different modes of thinking required throughout the working day and where cognitive friction occurs.\nDiscuss the value of rituals and thresholds in helping the brain transition between different types of work.\nIntroduce simple team rituals that improve meeting quality\, collaboration and deep thinking.

SUMMARY:The Curious Leader: Hope as a Leadership Practice
DESCRIPTION:Session Outline ​ \nIn today’s workplace\, uncertainty has become a constant companion. Restructures\, technological change\, workforce pressures and competing priorities can leave individuals and teams feeling anxious\, overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. While leaders cannot always provide certainty\, they can cultivate something equally powerful: hope.​​ \nThis practical\, evidence-informed webinar explores hope not as wishful thinking or blind optimism\, but as a leadership capability that can be intentionally developed. Drawing on Charles Snyder’s Hope Theory\, participants will discover how hope is built through clear goals\, multiple pathways and a belief in our ability to take meaningful action.​​ \nThe session also explores hope through the lens of a BANI (Brittle\, Anxious\, Nonlinear and Incomprehensible) world\, where anxiety can narrow thinking and diminish confidence. Participants will learn how curiosity\, reflection and purposeful action can expand possibility\, helping individuals and teams move from feeling stuck to finding a way forward.​ \nPacked with reflective exercises\, practical tools and leadership strategies\, this session will enable participants to leave with a personal Hope Practice they can apply immediately in their own work and with their teams.​ \nLearning Objectives​​ \n\nUnderstand the difference between hope\, optimism and toxic positivity.​\n ​\nExplore Charles Snyder’s Hope Theory and its application to leadership and organisational change. ​\n​\nUse curiosity as a catalyst for creating hope and possibility.​\n ​\nCreate a personal Hope Practice to strengthen resilience\, motivation and leadership effectiveness. ​
