EMBA programmes webinar – Leading with pride: time and place
Join us as we celebrate Pride month
Join us for an evening of discussion where we will be celebrating Pride month and how we can strengthen allyship in an ever-changing business landscape. The discussion will cover 2 themes. The first will be ‘Place’, looking at the history of the LGBTQIA+ community and ‘Time’ where our panellists will delve into how we can develop our own qualities to be stronger and more inclusive leaders of tomorrow.
This event will provide a learning opportunity for those who want to strengthen allyship and inclusivity in their organisation and the wider community.
