Leadership Unleashed is a bold, dynamic celebration of true leadership qualities: those that empower people to thrive and businesses to flourish. Packed with authentic stories, courageous conversations, and powerful insights, it’s a unique opportunity to connect, share, and grow with a diverse network of forward-thinking leaders.

This event is a space to recognise and celebrate often under-appreciated qualities - empathy, authenticity, and collaboration : the qualities that bring out the best in people and unlock the highest commercial impact.

This is not your typical sit-back-and-listen event. Engage in lively networking and hear quick-fire, inspirational stories from experienced CEOs, change- makers, and influential leaders. These dynamic conversations are designed to spark authentic discussions, offering a chance to explore and learn together what true leadership really means in a world in constant flux.

Come to sit forward, meet peers and co-create a better future of work together 

The panels will focus on three themes:

  • Authentic stories of how real leadership leads to success 
  • How to inspire and be inspired by next generation leaders
  • Tales that show the power of embracing failure as learning 

Why Attend?

  • Powered by dynamic network of female Senior Leaders from public, private and the third sector.
  • Be part of meaningful conversations that challenge outmoded ideas about leadership.
  • Leave with fresh insights, new connections, and practical takeaways to lead with courage and authenticity.

Who’s it for?

Leaders, aspiring leaders, and anyone ready to explore what it means to lead with purpose. This event isn’t about gender; it’s about rethinking what great leadership looks like—and celebrating the best of it in all of us.
