What would be possible if the leaders you work with weren’t afraid? What could that mean in terms of engagement, innovation and business growth for the organisation they work within, and for their own success and fulfilment?

When we talk about fear in leadership, so often it is about imposition of fear from above, often a domineering CEO using fear as a tool of control. However, what this event is about is not how leaders use fear on others, but how lack of confidence – in other words, fear ‐ holds leaders back from realising their full potential.

When fear is at play, pleasing the boss becomes more important than speaking up and pushing back. The real cost of fear is not what you can see, but what you can’t : ideas and opinions left unsaid that could change the course of your organisation.

Alison Reid is a leadership and confidence expert and author of white paper Cultivating Confident Leadership : A 3‐step process to help leaders overcome fear and unleash their potential.

Drawing on her extensive experience coaching senior managers and directors cross‐sector over many years, Alison will lead an interactive session exploring :

• Why we are perfectly designed to lack confidence

• The case of the missing leader : how fear holds leaders back from speaking up and showing up

• A 3‐step process to help leaders work through fear and realise their potential.

Alison is confident that you will get as much out of the event for yourself as you will for the leaders you support!
