Keynote Speaker - Simon Weston
In 1982 the Sir Galahad was destroyed in Bluff Cove on the Falkland Islands. On
board was Simon Weston, Welsh Guardsman, a name and face that was going to become
well known for his struggle to overcome his injuries (46% burns) and redefine his
role in life. Simon's message is one of achievement, of triumph over adversity,
of seizing the moment and succeeding.

Damian Hughes
Workshop Title: Understanding our own performance during the pressures of change
Damian Hughes will explain the origins of our behaviour and performance. He demonstrates
how to bring about genuinely lasting change in performance by identifying your own
personal style, strengths and development areas. An understanding of this deep rooted
process is vital to succeed here as opposed to making surface level changes which
fail to impact and do not last.

Phil Hawthorn
Workshop Title: Organisations, leadership and cooking
“If you can’t stand the heat…” OK – you know the rest. Seriously, though, what could
we learn from the full on nature of cooking to order? Does the restaurant environment
offer any insights, metaphors or ideas we can use in other organisations? Is Gordon
Ramsey right? (I would always agree with him…) Is your style more the supportive,
cheeky-chappy Jamie Oliver type? Or are the rest of the team more important than
the chef or maitre d’?

Rod Webb
Workshop Title: Them and Us
Most organisations have teams that need to work together though geographically separated.
Whether it's a project involving different departments in the same call centre,
training companies working with their associates, teams working with teams from
other sites in the same organisation, remote working is a reality for most of us.

John Hotowka
Workshop Title: Add magic to your training
People always remember the most unusual things, so, if we can illustrate a learning
point in a totally unexpected way then people will always remember that learning
point - provided there is a strong enough link between the 'trick' and the learning
point in question.
