Digital leaders are the foundation of digital transformation. They support and inspire employees to change the way they work together, modernise processes and set up organisations for digital change. Digital leaders enable a business to handle external disruptions, and reap the benefits of internal innovations, leading to long term profitability and sustainability in an everchanging digital environment.

This breakfast masterclass will give attendees an insight into what digital leadership is, a self-evaluation of where they are as a digital leader, and how they can impact and improve their organisation’s digital transformation journey.

The unrelenting demands on senior leaders are pushing them to their limits. You love your job. You're really good at your job. But there's just too much going on, and you are permanently overworked and overloaded. COVID, rapid inflation, talent wars and the threat of a coming recession have only magnified the problem. Something has to change!

As a leader, hard work is a given. But if you find yourself starting to 'endure' rather than 'enjoy' your job, if you feel like you're 'pulling the wagon' almost single-handedly, or you're constantly putting in too many hours and putting out too many fires, your career and reputation is likely at risk.

Being overworked and overloaded stops you from being strategic. Decisions can be rushed and therefore are sometimes not the best ones. You can't see serious problems easily, creative thinking becomes impaired, and critical interpersonal skills suffer. Research proves that working too hard will actually make you a less effective leader.

It doesn't have to be this way. Join us for a must-see masterclass where Australia's #1 High-Performance Team Consultant, Diana Tapp, will reveal how to cure the overworked and overloaded senior leader.

In this masterclass, you'll discover:

• The simple hack to build 'me time' into your schedule
• The weekly routine that lets you 'lift up' and become more strategic
• Why middle managers are the key to overcoming overload
• 4-steps to activate and empower your team
• How personally doing less will lead to better business results

Something many successful business people know is that you don’t have to have an earth-shattering idea to get ahead. You just have to identify a problem and find a way to solve it. Successful problem solving is the basis of all new inventions and the key to business growth.

Companies looking to maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly competitive market, would be wise to invest in building effective problem solving skills within their organisation. 

While it is often assumed that problem solving comes naturally, it is in fact a skill that can be learned and developed over time. Learning and developing problem solving skills will help you and your team to identify and leverage market opportunities, improve overall business performance and manage risk.

In this Masterclass you will learn how:

• Your business can become more agile and innovative by applying problem solving techniques in your workplace  
• To identify activities or processes within your business that could be hampering your growth and what you can do to fix them
• To unearth new business opportunities by learning how to solve your customers problems

Are you developing your people's skill sets to align with your future business needs?

According to the World Economic Forum's 2020 'The Future of Jobs Report', 44% of the skills employees need to perform effectively in their roles, will change by 2025. Some jobs will cease to exist, roles will be redefined, and new occupations will surface and become the norm.

As artificial intelligence and machines do more of what your people have traditionally done – optimise, automate, calculate, replicate – your people need to upskill and gain expertise in the uniquely human competencies – emotional intelligence, collaboration, critical thinking, “human skills”. Businesses that fail to reskill and adapt will struggle to survive. Those who do upskill their staff will stand head and shoulders above the rest.

The good news is that these future skills are learnable, and you can start developing them today. Join us for our first Breakfast Masterclass of 2022 where Australia's #1 High-Performance Team Consultant, Diana Tapp, will reveal the five core skills you need to develop to not only survive, but thrive, during the challenges ahead.

During this Masterclass you will discover:

• Why developing “human skills” is so important
• The World Economic Forums’ future skills hierarchy
• #1 way to avoid being made redundant by automation
• The 5 core skills your people need to develop
• How to map your team, identify gaps and develop a plan to rapidly improve
