Accessing your own thoughts and beliefs is critical in understanding how and why you respond in certain ways.

Discover the tools you need to expand your creativity, super-charge your energy and improve your connection with others.
Start to connect with your thoughts at the level of identity to shift your thinking and accelerate your growth.
Let go of the need to be perfect and learn to show up exactly as you.
About LisaLisa is a certified coach, facilitator and the creator of The Imperfect Leader Program; a mastermind and mentor coaching program for conscious leaders. She uses emotional intelligence and the latest cutting-edge techniques to help those wanting to improve their health, mindset and impact, and model new ways to work. Her creative, warm approach supports leaders navigating change and uncertainty and the unpredictable path of progression.
“Everything I’ve learnt until now as a coach, mentor and entrepreneur has taught me that resilience comes from within and is intrinsically linked to our sense of identity and self-beliefs. After a 3 year journey through cancer and a 20 year career as an entrepreneur, I’ve first hand experience in how to develop the emotional awareness needed by leaders today to face the unknown, show up imperfectly and have proven success with a tool-kit that builds resilience to improve performance. Over 100,000 women globally have tried and tested these techniques but my belief is they can work for all.”

Join our stellar board appointment panel who will tell you how to get one a Public Appointment Board or Committee.
I will be joined by, the Commissioner For Public Appointments, Eileen Mortby of BEIS,(Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) Faye Bunch – Public Appointments for the The Cabinet Office, and Elise Perraud COO of NED On Boards who will be revealing, what is required to successfully get on a Public Appointments Board.
In addition to Board appointments in the private sector, there is a wide range of non-executive Board roles in the public sector. However, public bodies range from small expert groups to large delivery and even commercial organisations.
Across Whitehall, Departments are seeking talented and diverse candidates to fill those roles. But the public sector struggle to achieve significant levels of diversity on its boards too. Part of the problem is achieving awareness about what those roles are and how to apply for them and be successful with your application.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has one of the largest number of public bodies associated with it and Eileen Mortby, who leads on improving diversity of these BEIS appointments, along with Faye Bunch of the Cabinet Office, will join this webinar to talk about the variety of roles and start to demystify the process of applying.

This free introductory session will give you an insight
more
A crisis can bring out the worst and the best in each of us. It can also shine a spotlight on some of our unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving.
Where we find ourselves unable to control what’s happening externally, we come to realise that we do have the ability to control (or at least learn to control) how we react in these times – what we do, say, think and feel.
The coaching circle will be founded on my core work values – honesty, vulnerability, community, connection, learning (wisdom) and compassion. We will explore how these values help to create conditions for personal growth and development – provided we have the courage to take the first steps – making transformation possible.
• Be guided through two mindfulness practices to help ground you in the here and now and connect with each other. It’s important to remember that we are not alone in these current testing times.
• Get a taste of how I work and my approach.
• Get an overview of the themes that we will be covering and what you will learn in the 5-Week Coaching Circle – Personal Growth in Times of Crisis starting on Wed, 15 April – 13 May @ 19.00-20.30 GMT.
• Gain an understanding of the Coaching Circle format and the practice between sessions to foster your personal learning and development.
• Be given a practical tool that can help you move from anger, anxiety, fear or panic into a learning, resourceful mindset.
Places are limited to 25.

WeAreVirtual
WeAreTheCity staff are all working remotely as per the UK government's advisory. We are always looking at ways we can support women in business remotely and have launched a series of FREE virtual events (WeAreVirtual) to help support everyone in their careers and their well being. This could not be possible without the support of our network and we are very thankful for the time given by all of our speakers at these sessions.
