HR Heads Breakfast Forum, 15 March 2018
The first HR Heads Breakfast Forum of 2018 took place in Bournemouth on 15th March, in one of the stunning Lester Aldridge meeting rooms overlooking the sea. Our guest speaker Donna Hubbard, founder of Be Dynamic Coaching & Training delivered an engaging session: The Power of Authentic Leadership.
Donna believes that in today’s self-aware and dynamic world people are seeking roles, working environments and leaders that allow them to ‘show up as the themselves’. During our Breakfast Forum, Donna explored how to be a truly authentic leader, the link between authenticity and building what lies at the heart of successful engagement – trust, and how you can be instrumental in creating environments where your people can thrive as the unique individuals they are.
You can catch up with Donna on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
