Leading with Self Awareness

“We can only control our own behavior and we need to start with ourselves.”
L. David Marquet, author of ‘Turn the Ship Around!’

When you think about leading marketing, do your thoughts turn to the team that is to be ‘led’? It feels natural to do so, and yet the paradox of leadership is that it starts with ourselves. Leading ourselves is hardest of all, and yet experience and evidence shows that this is where great leadership starts. Modelling the behaviours we wish to see, changing culture from the top, and creating psychological safety by showing our own vulnerability. In short, leaders create the environment needed for others to succeed, and start with themselves.

In this event, we’ll be sharing our knowledge and experience around leading with self awareness. With three expert panellists to enrich our discussion with their own insights and experience, we’ll explore topics such as:

• Sources of feedback
• Emotions and self control
• Confidence and assertiveness
• Trusting yourself, and others
• Agile and styles of leadership

Marketing leaders have a lot of plates to spin! Amidst what can feel like a frenetic atmosphere in a busy marketing department, how do we find the time, and the calm, to work first on ourselves?

This event will be inspired by the work of the Leadership Trust, David Marquet, and the Agile Business Consortium.

Expect to leave with new inspiration and fresh ideas.
