Parenting Lessons for Effective Management - Simon Copsey

About The Session
Parenthood often arrives with little time for preparation. Our idea of 'good' parenting usually involves emulating what we’ve observed in others, whilst hoping we won't do any permanent damage.

Stepping into a managerial role can feel remarkably similar: we often have to rely on mimicking behaviours we’ve seen in others, despite knowing this may be imperfect or uncomfortable.

Fortunately, there is a science to becoming a better manager, and we can draw inspiration from our experiences as parents (or children).

This talk aims to provide a systematic method for improving your approach to management, so you can get closer to being the manager you most want to be.
