Join me, coach and trainer, Katie Duckworth, for early morning connection and learning over a delicious brunch, 8.45 - 10.30 am Wednesday 15 January 2020.

Our theme: 20:20 Vision - Looking back and looking forwards

Leaders Who Brunch is a unique breathing space for purpose-led leaders to get support and inspiration from like-minded peers in a fun, non-judgemental, energising environment. I think we've created something really special so far and I'd love to share it with you.

So come along if you'd find value in warm connection with other leaders on the same deeply rewarding but challenging journey as you.

We’ll start with workshop time to explore what worked for you in 2019 and what you'd like to be different in 2020. You'll set yourself some personal or professional goals to which the group can hold you accountable (if that's helpful!).

Then you'll get to support each other with advice hot spots, informal chats and peer coaching on any topic you want to bring. You can ask for help or give it. Either or both is great!

Arrive any time after 8.45am for informal networking. We kick off officially at 9.10am.

I'm so delighted that Leaders Who Brunch has taken off and that your sector peers have valued these get-togethers. This is what Abby Wright Parkes, Director of Membership & Marketing at FSRH said after she came along in September.

"Leaders Who Brunch provides two hours of space and time to invest in yourself. Expertly facilitated by Katie, it is a great opportunity to share and learn with other third sector leaders on a relevant and interesting topic. You come away with knowledge and connections. The food & venue is fab too."

Anne Danks, Head of England, Westside and Eastside Regions at Christian Aid also expressed the value of these sessions beautifully:

"Leading in an organisation can be a lonely experience. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions and can’t necessarily offer explanations for them, because of confidentiality - and the need to justify yourself can be powerful! At Leaders Who Brunch there is a safe space to let off steam, hear stories from others and find sounding boards. In a fast-paced and noisy world, it’s also a quiet and focused time to reflect and consider, to take stock, and find some shared wisdom."

And Martin Wright, Chair of Positive News, said:

"It was a delight to be part of this. Katie is such a good facilitator, bringing a lovely brisk and breezy energy into the room that makes it so much easier to tease out tricky issues and take steps to resolve them. Recommended!”

So, who exactly is it for?

You don't have to be a senior leader in the traditional hierarchy to attend. If you see yourself as a leader of people, you are one:

• CEOs & Directors, Heads of, Team leaders, Aspiring leaders, Freelancers - you are all welcome

• If you are from a non-profit or purpose-led organisation, a charity big or small, a social enterprise, a progressive business or movement - you are welcome.
  

Yes, that means you!

What will you get out of it?

• warm, non-judgemental connection with like-minded peers on the same up-and-down journey as you

• confidential support, advice and ideas to help you move you through those 'feel like a fraud' times
  

• coaching from experts and peers on the sticky issues and challenges that are an inevitable part of your job

• practical skills, tools and techniques that you can put in place straightaway

• breathing space to reflect, be heard, or to explore fresh perspectives and ideas

• accountability to the group (if you want it) for actions you're committed to taking

• an opportunity to explore outside the group-think of your organisation or field

• a spring in your step as you head out for the rest of your day.
