The urgency of this economic moment is clear. No one, alone, has all of the answers. However, there is great clarity with regard to one commercial fact-of-life: your ability to retain customers during this international downturn will define any organization to weather the storm. At this moment in time the most compelling issue is not how big an organization you are, or how small an organization you might become. It is about focus. It is about competence. It is about building trust and confidence, with colleagues and customers alike. It is about having a common purpose to work together as a team with a clear, urgent, purposeful and positive message. It is about considering what Brand Value and Customer Loyalty mean in this environment. It is about trying to cut costs and perhaps cut staff, without cutting your own throat.
10.30am – 11.15am
Recruitment executives and professionals struggle daily with how their work affects their organization, after all, there may be no bigger impact on a business than the people hired to execute it. But how can leaders get out of the transactional, tactical day-to-day activities of sourcing, interviewing, and making offers to actually being strategic? It's not enough to just have the desire to "have a seat at the table," decisive action must be taken. The speaker will demonstrate the true value of talent acquisition as a business tool. Talent acquisition is still at the heart of integrated talent management initiatives for businesses that are doing less with more and managing through economic challenges. Astute leaders are making it a priority to acquire and retain the most innovative workforce possible to sustain a competitive advantage for the future.

Tomorrow’s companies will be in need of people who can be responsible and innovative at the same time. Who are these kind of people? What kind of organisations will be likely to attract and retain them? Who will be the kind of leaders that bring out the best in them?

Everyone can perform at a high level sometimes. At such times we feel at the top of our game. We radiate presence and confidence. We connect easily. But most of us cannot access top levels of management performance consistently. This workshop will help participants to learn how to uncover and deepen the natural presence that is within us all and apply it in all areas of their leadership. Methods and practical strategies for accessing that peak performance will be explained along with examples and illustrations and a toolkit to begin your own development plan. You will leave this session with the means to access, express and develop your own talents with confidence and surety.
09.00am – 02.30pm
Recruitment: It’s a common misconception that hiring during a downturn is made easier by the increased number of job seekers. Instead this can make it more difficult to identify top candidates. In addition, limited budgets mean you need to get your recruitment campaign right first time. This session will show how organizations can increase recruitment success whilst reducing cost. Retention: It is now essential to create a strong employer brand - a positive, distinctive public perception of the organization as an employer. Companies such as Virgin and Google understand the power this has to increase retention levels and develop highly committed leaders, managers and teams. Motivation: With so much uncertainty at the present time, keeping your people motivated and engaged is a significant challenge. This is particularly true if you need to make cut backs and redundancies. The speaker will show how to maintain staff motivation in the face of such issues.
09.00am – 02.30pm,
Talent. Everybody has it, but just how good are you at using it ? Talented people don't believe in reaching their peak they live a life that crests on any number of new and different waves. Some of these peaks may be higher than others, some offer totally different challenges and rewards, but whatever stage of life they're at they see no reason why they can't fulfil their potential to reach a new high. The Psychology of Success shows how you too can live a life of many peaks. By speaking to a wide range of people who have experienced both success and failure, Judith Leary-Joyce has uncovered the secrets of serial achievement. Some of these people have already achieved many different career and life peaks, some are still getting there and others have resigned themselves to never making it. By drawing on these studies, and her extensive experience as a psychologist and business coach, Judith sets out a clear path for you to follow in your quest to live the most satisfying and rewarding life you can.
09.00am – 02.30pm,

He helps people to understand how to recruit and retain top talent and how consistently get the best out of your employees. Excellence is the only standard that matters, and your people are the only basis for sustaining excellence. This session will provide you with both inspiration, and practical, hands-on strategies and techniques.

A large and vital part of leadership is effective communication. From the moment we take up a new post, we are ‘on stage’, scrutinised and expected to ‘perform’. Using metaphors of presentation and rehearsal taken from the theatre, this programme explores the full range of leadership communication requirements. Participants are introduced to a powerful skill set employed by actors and given the opportunity to learn how to maximise their personal impact. Options include valuable techniques for a range of interactions – telephone calls, one-to-one situations and meetings, team talks, promotional boards and set-piece conference speeches. With these tools, participants quickly learn the foundations of convincing, authentic communication that provides a positive and lasting impact on any audience.
