Hope for the future: Being the leader you need.
The team at Bold Steps is delighted to announce that Dr Lucy Hone will present again at the 2023 conference, alongside her long-time collaborator, Dr Denise Quinlan, who she describes as ‘the better half of me’.
Together they will help you discover the essential skills to better navigate this era of uncertainty and change. First, resilience tools to put your own (psychological) house in order – and keep it there. Next, they’ll coach us in their tried and tested methods to embrace and influence change, rather than fearing, or hiding, from it. By showing you a way to articulate your positive vision for the future - for home, work, or community – this session will leave you feeling more hopeful and better prepared for persistent, determined action. The stakes have never been higher: building a Caring Economy to sustain our grandchildren’s grandchildren will require the best of all our talents. Lucy and Denise will demonstrate how to instigate the inclusive redesign of home, work and the communities we care about so deeply.
