CxO Breakfast Club: Leading Through Change
One table of senior women, one honest hour on leading teams through restructures, mergers and the year nobody planned for.
The morning
One table. One honest hour.
Fourteen senior women around one breakfast table, and one question worth the early start. This month we’re talking about leading people through change: restructures, mergers, new bosses and the decisions you can’t take back.
No slides, no pitches, no name-dropping. Just women who’ve been there, saying what they really think, before the workday starts.
Who it’s for
C-suite, founders and women stepping into the top job. First time with us? This is a good one to start with. Everyone in the room came to a first event once.
How it runs
- 8:00amCoffee, breakfast and introductions
- 8:20amThe question: how do you lead people through change you didn’t choose?
- 9:10amOne takeaway each, around the table
- 9:30amClose. Stay for a second coffee if you can.
