Sponsored by The Kaleidoscope Group

A panel discussion on when and how to speak out on social issues, some practical steps on the protocols that should be in place and the links to reputational risk if not handled correctly.

Join us for an interesting discussion with panellists Dawn Bryan and Sarah Black on the critical topic of leaders and organisations speaking out on social-political issues. Explore the complexities of this decision, including the short and long-term implications for organisations. Learn insights, including the significance of clear organisational protocols outlining when, why, and how leaders should speak up. If you've ever felt uncertain about making statements on such issues, this event is for you. Join the conversation so that you can confidently lead your business during challenging times.

This will be followed by a moderated Q&A session to allow participants to raise questions in a safe environment.
