CPD Connect: Introduction to Leadership Workshop
Great leadership skills are crucial and most helpful when navigating times of great ambiguity, uncertainty and challenge, all of which seem to be more and more prevalent in our day-to-day working lives.
The words leadership and management are often used in the
same sentence but what is the difference? Understanding how you may be limiting
yourself at present, by not working in leader mode is key to successfully navigating
the world of work. When it comes to leadership it is often said that emotional
intelligence is the difference that makes the difference. This workshop will
explore emotional intelligence and in particular self-awareness, self-management,
social awareness and relationship management.
The course will help you make sense of what leadership is, help you develop your personal leadership approach and how you can apply it in your day-to-day practice. You will be encouraged to learn what it is like to be on the receiving end of you.
CPD Connect invite you to attend a full day workshop, delivered via Microsoft Teams, commencing at 09:30 on Wednesday 4 March 2026. The workshop will be interactive, blending leadership theory with practical day-to-day techniques, examples, participant contributions and group work. We will incorporate action planning and review sessions into the workshop so that the participants are actively encouraged to apply their learning into their day jobs.
Who should attend:
First5 GPs who want to develop their leadership skills and have greater confidence in handling ambiguity, uncertainty and challenge.
Cost:
