The Learning and Organisation Development (L&OD) Team has launched The Leadership Forum - a new initiative for LGT leaders and managers to expand their learning and networking.

Inspired by the impactful and motivating story we heard last month from Meera Nair, LGT Chief People Officer, our next session will delve into a key leadership skill: Telling Powerful Stories. 

Stories have been used since the dawn of time to enable us to connect with other people, and a well-crafted narrative can create a physical, emotional, and even hormonal reaction in others. It’s that power that makes stories more impactful, memorable, and ultimately more persuasive than many other forms of communication. But how do you create a really compelling story? When is the right time for storytelling? And how can we deliver stories impactfully, even if we’re not natural narrators? This session will answer all those questions and more.

The session will be facilitated by NHS Elect and will take place 2.30pm - 4.00pm on Tuesday 14th November. As it is a skills-focused and interactive session, the number of places available are limited - so please only book your ticket if you are definitely able to attend. Please make sure that you are in a private space where you can contribute and interact in the breakout groups. 

The Leadership Forum sessions will enable attendees to meet other leaders from across the Trust; to share and reflect on your leadership challenges; and learn about a leadership concept or skill that you can put into practice. The sessions will be offered virtually, to maximise the opportunity to connect across both sites, interweaved with face-to-face networking sessions where leaders can connect in person.
