Leading Through Change: The Skills The Future Workplaces Need
Future workplaces need people who can adapt, influence and lead through change. The Humber Leaders Programme has been created to help develop exactly those skills, and this is where it begins.
Join us on 4 June for the launch of this programme - a new Future Humber initiative designed to connect and develop ambitious professionals from across the region.
This launch event is open to everybody. Whether you work in the private sector, public sector, a small business or a large organisation, if you care about developing people and shaping the future of the Humber, this event is for you.
Through speakers, honest conversation and shared insight, we'll explore the skills, behaviours and leadership qualities future workplaces need, and how the Humber can develop its next generation of leaders together.
