The Trusted Executive: Nine Habits that Inspire Results, Relationships and Reputation

Wednesday 17 May 1pm - 2pm

How can leaders deliver outstanding results, create inspiring relationships and provide a positive contribution through the power of trustworthy leadership? 

In the pandemic-shifted world of business, affected by trends involving the climate crisis, ESG, anti-bullying and diversity and inclusion, trust and truthfulness have become THE agenda. But how can business leaders build trust in an untrusting world?  

Dr John Blakey describes the tools leaders need to build trust by focusing on challenging coaching techniques and the nine habits of trust. The Nine Habits model - the only academically verified behavioural model of trust arising from six years research at Aston Business School – is described in John’s book “The Trusted Executive”. 

Join us, as John shares transformational coaching techniques for leaders in the 21st century and the important primary role of trust as a leadership skill: how to build trust and develop role modelling behaviours, how to lead transformational change and develop strategies to deal with unwanted violations of trust.
