Building on years of successful event design and delivery, Courageous Leaders is proud to announce the speaker lineup for the October 2024 conference and the fifth year of philanthropic fundraising in aid of Plan International UK.
Highlighting the critical connection between wellbeing and productivity, as underscored in research published by Professor William J. Fleming of Oxford University in May 2024 featured in the Financial Times, the conference will focus on providing leaders with the knowledge, science, data and actionable techniques to enhance both employee performance and wellbeing.
Scheduled for Monday, October 7th, the full-day event will take place at Osborne Clarke’s London office. The conference, themed “Sustaining Peak Performance and Wellbeing – A Leadership Imperative,” is designed for leaders, executives, team managers seeking to gain insights from industry experts, network with peers, and acquire actionable strategies to implement within their organisations.
Nilema Bhakta-Jones, multi award-winning Executive and founder of Courageous Leaders, passionately advocates for courageous leadership development and philanthropy. For 5 years the net proceeds from the events have been donated in aid of Plan International UK for an education project to enable marginalised girls to continue their education and young women to gain workplace skills.
