IoD Scotland - Perspectives and purpose stepping back to step up
Sponsored by Rathbones
Why standing back, drawing breath, and questioning your business purpose pays. Hear from Claire Kinloch about how a post-Covid personal journey to the High Arctic led to a complete re-evaluation of personal aspirations and business goals. Learn how stepping back from the day-to-day gave her new perspective and helped realign her vision for the future to new personal and professional purpose.
The result? Space to think strategically about successes and failures. A chance to distil learnings with greater clarity. Leading to empowerment and development of those around you and bigger, better creative thinking about what is possible. As Claire highlights the benefits of gaining new perspective in business, she will ask you to consider what a renewed focus could do for your business strategy and how it could impact your business – for the better.
IoD Scotland’s signature series sponsored by Rathbones invites members to evaluate their business strategies by stepping back from the everyday.
