Time for a break – 20 minutes of insight and inspiration with highlights from the Leadership Moments of Phil Cross, James Kemp, Jill Livesey and Professor Peter Hawkins.

Professor Peter Hawkins is an author, consultant and researcher in leadership cultural change and organisational learning. He calls himself a paradigm buster - and he does just that - as he talks about the necessary move from individual hero leadership to a collective leadership that is able to communicate and collaborate across multiple and increasingly complex systems. His research shows that real leadership development comes from experience and challenges on the job and that organisations focusing on a clear long-term purpose perform better than those that focus on short-term profit.

Jill Livesey specialises in career coaching, working with leaders to help them engage their team members with meaningful career conversations and with individuals to help their career development. Jill talks about the career coaching process, why it is so important and tells us what not to do. She shares her leadership moments and gives us a list of great resources to help us all stop and think.

Hear James Kemp, CEO of Amicus explain how a visit to a school sparked a passion that transformed a regular office fit out company into an award-winning leader in workspace design partnering with clients to help them rethink the workspace to support behaviour and cultural change. James talks about the new ways of working and how the workspace will evolve. He shares his leadership insights and talks about the changes he had to make to better manage stress and meet his own expectations of himself as a leader.

This is a must-listen to discussion as Phil Cross, a digital consultant and strategist takes us into the future and challenges our thinking as he shares the latest digital trends including the consolidation of power, the inherent dangers in artificial intelligence, the cultural shift in a hyperconnected world and evolution versus transformation. Phil also shares his leadership moments and how he applies what he learned as an endurance athlete to performing well at work.

And, of course he shares his leadership moments from 25 years of working as an economist for major banks and government.

It is important to recognize your limitations, to know when you need help and be humble enough to ask for it. Michael was diagnosed with inclusion body myositis, a rare progressive muscle disorder 10 years ago. Michael shares the impact of admitting he needed help – both on him and the people around him - plus the power of taking a genuine interest in others.
