Thanks for helping with the last poll. This week I'm wondering about online lunch rooms for people to focus on their own leadership journey and have chats over lunch. Think maybe building a vision board or getting an overview of linkedin, or doing a wheel of life sort of vibe?

💻 🤖 🧠 AI. Remote Working. Tchnological advancements. Teams. Slack. QR Codes... but what does it all mean for the people using it? How will it change what we expect from our leaders? Will the robots win out? We don't know but we found some people who have some thoughts! Join us online on the 7th Novmber at 10am to hear from Dr. Colin Hughes and Sheena Horgan talk about what they think all of these changes mean for anyone in, or looking to be in, leadership positions. The event is open to anyone at any stage of their own leadership journey, in any role and we welcome volunteers, staff, consultants and well-wishers as well. You simply register to attend. See you there!
As remote working becomes more embedded, and we use our devices for more functions daily (such as death by whatsapp group), how is our reliance on technology affecting how our leaders lead? And what we expect from leaders? Join us online on the 7th November at 10 to hear Dr. Colin Hughes, Head of the TU Dublin Graduate Business School and Sheena Horgan, experienced CEO, Executive and Non-Executive Director to discuss their own thoughts. As always, our events are open to everyone, at all levels of their own leadership journey, at any, and all levels within the sector. We also welcome professionals who work with the sector, people taking career breaks, students, and general well wishers. We're super not fussy. Bring a friend.
