Being an Effective and Empathetic Leader

For many, Covid 19 has bought uncertainty, anxiety and fear. If left unaddressed, these feelings can undermine our career, confidence and growth. Co-hosts Reva and Chris will discuss David’s thoughts on how he thinks these transformative times could very well be the wake up call you’ve been waiting for, and it’s the perfect opportunity to make sure you’re playing your ‘A-Game’.

Broadcast on Saturday 8th August 1pm from Dubai

'So Guests are coming back... but what next?'

June 24th 2020

At the beginning of the outbreak, the team at Harrison. discussed that we were not going to be ‘out of this’ for a very long time and we should look to the time when Guests come back, but not just that, ‘what will happen next’. They created a visual to manage the waves of confidence as they do, and combined this with strategic thinking, not just 'lockdown design'.At this session, David talks with LinkedIn editor Lynne Chouman and Harrison’s Paul Wainwright
