KeynotePeter Cheese -We are in fast changing times, with political, economic, social and technological change all happening. These shifts impact us all, but there are key principles of good work, of creating agile and adaptive organisations, of core skills, and in how we look after and develop people, that will be the cornerstones of sustainable and responsible businesses for the future. We all have agency in shaping the future, and the more we work together and share our thinking at all levels then the better equipped we all become. |

Seminar 1:Robin WaiteNow, 90% of business owners I know are grinding their gears with marketing, trying to sell more of the same product and flat out struggling to make any progress. Your accountant will be helping you to cut your costs. Which leaves the last option, Selling Your Products at a Higher Price.

Seminar 2:Peter CheeseThe workplace, the nature of work and even what a company is has changed out of all recognition in the past few years. And one thing we can be sure of is that the speed of change will not slow down. The skills that made you successful in the past are not the ones which will make you successful in the future (or even the present). Peter will talk about what skills and attributes you will need to have to succeed in the workplace of the future. This talk is as relevant to small business owners and independent professionals as it is to those working in corporations or local government.

Seminar 3:Danny MatthewsIn this talk you will learn: You will leave this talk feeling confident that you, and you alone can do what it takes to thrive in any economy.

Seminar 4:Jackie HandyThis talk will highlight what Diversity & Inclusion really is, why it’s so important for today’s businesses to embrace, the consequences of not (on people and profitability) and some small steps to begin the journey to an inclusive world. A business cannot tick diversity boxes and promote that they are now inclusive. Attracting and recruiting staff is only part of the journey. Retaining an engaged workforce is the hardest part and for those organisations who truly embrace the power of inclusion (the power of I) by promoting small steps to change, will see the greatest return on their investment. This talk will provide statistics on what Diversity and Inclusion results in for businesses who embrace it. The cost of not (and that’s not just monetary) as well as supporting attendees with providing some simple, practical takeaways that they can immediately transfer into their workplace. |

Seminar 2:Peter MilliganIf you want to be an effective communicator who has more influence, come to this session to discover the really basic errors that most people make, and how you can avoid them. Have you ever wanted someone to do something and struggled to understand why they didn't (even though it seems like the obvious and right thing to do, and you asked nicely!)? Whilst it would be tempting to conclude that they must be deaf, stupid, belligerent, or just lazy, it is worth considering whether you could approach things differently. Afterall, there are people who seem to be able to influence very effectively.

Seminar 3:Mark FaithfullBanks and big business spend millions every year on cyber-security, and yet still they get hacked. Most cyber-security training feels like it has been written by geeks for geeks and we are left with the uncomfortable feeling that we're doing it wrong but not sure how to fix it.

Seminar 4:Angharad TruemanThe world of sales is an ever changing rabbit disappearing down a rabbit hole, and if you don’t want to get left behind, you need to keep up and open your mind to new possibilities of finding clients. I'll be talking to attendees about how they should be reviewing their sales processes now and provide a bit of background about the success CGT has had with this over the last 18 months by banishing the 'but we've always done it this way' mantra to get out there and find new business. This has been through changing our mindset, but also through the use of technology, social media and our existing client base. |
