It’s more than downtime—it’s a reminder that great leadership starts with clarity, energy, and space to think.

Welcome to The Studio
The human first leader: Prioritising service over authority
In an era where innovation, culture, and purpose shape success, the old model of command-and-control leadership is being replaced by a people-first mindset: servant leadership. Centred on empathy, empowerment, and humility, this leadership style is reshaping how top executives lead. Far from being a soft approach, it's a strategic one—fostering trust, enhancing collaboration, and driving long-term results by putting people at the heart of the business, from teams to customers to communities. This fireside chat delves into how today’s leaders are adopting this mindset to strengthen their organisations from within.
From command to connection: The new leadership mindset
Traditional power structures are collapsing under the weight of new expectations. In this provocative session, we explore how influence now flows through emotional intelligence, humility, and connection — not control. Can your leadership evolve from authority to authenticity?
Break
Beyond the buzz: Building tech literacy in leadership teams
Digital transformation often stalls at the top — not because of resistance, but because of ignorance. This session demystifies AI, automation, and emerging tech so leaders can make smarter, faster, and more human-centered decisions. Can your leadership team really lead what they don’t understand?
Break
The Trust Imperative: Navigating Technology, Ethics, and Human Connection
In an era of deepfakes, data breaches, and disappearing privacy, trust is no longer optional — it’s existential. This session explores how to rebuild and maintain trust in organisations powered by tech but driven by people. Who still trusts your brand — and why?
TechGirl stories: Moving past optics toward real change
As leaders, are we truly supporting the next generation—or just saying the right things? What are we actually doing to create real opportunity, not just visibility? In this TechGirl panel, senior tech leaders share the defining moments of their journeys—and reflect honestly on what still needs to change. Through raw stories and real commitments, this session challenges every leader to move beyond performative support and take meaningful action to lift the next generation of TechGirls.

Keynote
Leading for Energy, Not Just Outcomes
You can’t pour from an empty leader. In cultures obsessed with nonstop output and quick results, we often overlook the true driver of sustained performance: energy—physical, mental, and emotional. This session challenges the idea that success is only about results and asks: What if your team’s real limit isn’t skills or effort, but lack of recovery? To build high-performing teams, leaders must cultivate a culture that values renewal and well-being, not just output.
Networking break
AI-Driven Decision Making: What’s Gained and What’s Lost?
AI promises speed and scale, but what about wisdom? This talk explores the trade-offs between data-driven efficiency and human insight — and asks where intuition still matters. Are your decisions becoming smarter or just faster?
C-Suite Stories: Micro-Habits of Resilient Leaders
Resilience isn’t something you “have” — it’s something you build, moment by moment. This session introduces small, evidence-backed practices that help leaders lead through volatility without losing themselves. What’s one habit you could change that would change everything?
Networking break
Resilience Reimagined: Beyond the Buzzword in Leadership
Resilience has become a leadership buzzword—but what does it really mean to be resilient? This session goes beyond clichés to explore the authentic behaviors and mindsets that define true resilience in leaders. From managing setbacks with grit to fostering adaptability and emotional strength, discover how to embody resilience in a way that drives lasting impact—not just survival.
Collaboration Over Competition: Leading Through Shared Innovation
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation—and yet, rising new job titles and specialised roles have blurred leadership lines, creating silos that stifle decision-making. This session explores how teams can break down barriers and work together across functions, blending diverse skills and perspectives to spark fresh ideas. Learn how to design flexible structures that encourage experimentation and collaboration—because the future belongs to teams that champion collaboration, not competition.
