Steve Rawling: NOT Back to Business As Usual
0900 – 1000
Once the Lockdown lifts, we won’t be going back to business as usual. This crisis brings an urgent need to stabilise your business – but also a chance to cast aside things that no longer work and find ways to improve. Join Steve Rawling, international author on creativity at work, to learn three short tests that will help you find opportunity in the crisis.
Steve is an ex-BBC journalist, author and communication expert. He can help you tell great stories about your work. He works with clients across the media industry, technology, education and charity sectors. Steve reckons he has told over 20,000 stories in his career as a journalist in one of the BBC’s busiest newsrooms. He can walk into any situation, speak to any person and come away with a story about them that makes sense to the widest possible audience. He can pass his experience on to people who know that storytelling is now a vital skill for business leaders. Anyone can tell stories in a digital age. But that doesn’t guarantee anyone will listen to yours. Your customers, partners and colleagues are bombarded with information in every waking hour. How do you make sure your message gets heard above the noise? Steve can teach you the tricks journalists use to grab people’s attention. He can help you tell the kind of stories that people want to hear, the kind of stories they will share with others. He’ll show you how storytelling can influence people around you and why it’s increasingly seen as a key leadership skill.

As a follow up to his April webinar, Roger will be providing the latest economic insights and information.
Roger is the authority when it comes to successfully predicting the impact of economic trends on UK industry sectors. He is hugely influential and in high demand, working with the CEOs of several leading global corporations.
