- Start earning your Oxford University Ethical Leadership Certificate – explore, and habituate, the character traits that make wise thinkers and good leaders.
…and introducing this year’s conference theme: BRAVE
Through the conference, you will think deeply about why and how the best leaders demonstrate bravery.
When does being brave mean speaking up and when does it mean having the courage to listen quietly? When is it about taking action or holding back? What is the difference between physical and emotional fear – and how do we face them both? Why is failure actually good for us?
Together, we’ll unpack how being brave shapes ethical leaders and change makers.
