Highlights from 2026
Five Pillars of Intentional Leadership
Leadership Dialogues 2027's theme is "Leadership as a Force for Good." The event is set to carry on conversations from our 2026 event highlighting intentional leadership.
Intentional Leadership is making deliberate choices in pursuit of a positive impact/outcomes, knowing why you have made them and being accountable. There are five aspects:
-
Choosing your purpose, values, and responsibilities
-
Connecting with like-minded people, having a collaborative mindset, making positive experiences together
-
Adjusting and updating initiatives and decisions in a timely manner as the context evolves in the light of new learnings and discoveries
-
Leaning forward to develop whilst being disciplined to be the best version of yourself, the team, and the enterprise
-
Owning the outcomes and the journey, finding solutions, managing the culture and the shadow that you create
Rupert Brown & Philippa Tuck – Creating Kairos: Recognising the Moments That Matter Most In Any Change.
Explore the moments where intentional presence matters most and apply them to something real: a program at work, a system you're trying to shift, or a chapter of your own life that's taken a turn. You'll leave with a different perspective on the right next step.
Mark Blackman & Leadership Together – Is leadership in education a force for good for everyone?
A discussion piece which is based on a theme around are we collectively and politically leading education in a way that is truly supporting the most vulnerable learners and providing equity. For those working with or interested in the education sector.
Krish Kandiah – From Message to Movement: How Leaders Communicate Hope
Ideas do not change the world. Stories do. Krish has made the case for some of the most uncomfortable ideas in public life on GB News and BBC Radio 2, in The Times and The Guardian, in church halls and the House of Lords. He has helped mobilise thousands of ordinary people to open their homes to strangers. The challenge in every one of those contexts was the same: how do you take something people find difficult and move them not just to understand it but to act on it? This breakout takes those lessons and puts them to work for leaders. Whether you are making the case for change inside a reluctant organisation or trying to build a coalition across a fractured community, Krish will show you how hope, compassion, and purpose combine to turn a message into a movement.
Jimmy Deane – Kindness In Leadership
Lessons from the non profit sector. For those working with or interested in the charity/not-for-profit sector.
Richard Godfrey & Bruno Oliveira – It's the end of the world as we know it...but I feel fine. Seeing the positive impact of AI on small businesses.
