Members FIRST event

Following on from our successful “Women in Business” event series, and to mark the global “Movember” movement, we are now delighted to bring our first ever event specifically focused upon men’s issues.

Men continue to face challenges, particularly in this post-pandemic world, from work stress, societal expectations, family tensions and economic pressures. Instead of opening up, sharing and reaching out for help, men often keep quiet when facing these stresses and mental health challenges.

Through sharing the personal experiences, faced by men, we hope to reduce shame and awkwardness about opening up, reaching out and seeking help – whether for personal challenges or when helping others.

The “Movember” awareness drive started in 2003, when two friends from Australia, inspired by a fundraising effort of a friend for his mother’s breast cancer, began growing a moustache every November to raise funds and awareness of men’s issues. Movember has grown over the years to become a men’s version of the global “pink ribbon” movement in support of breast cancer. In recent years the focus has expanded globally to include men’s mental health suicide prevention, and awareness of testicular and prostate cancer and the need for regular screening and care.

We have invited a number of businessmen to openly share their personal experiences of dealing with a particular challenge as a man, at work or in life, how they coped with it and any advice they have for others. An interactive “game” and Q&A will follow.

Whether you are male or female, whether you wish to share or just listen, please join us to learn more about this meaningful, often ignored and highly relevant subject.

The importance of the ability to solve problems has increased at the same rate as the pace of economic and technological change in recent years. The only way to successfully navigate through these changes is to be a fluent and creative problem solver. That's why the World Economic Forum has identified complex problem solving as the most important skill for the twenty-first century. As ever more data becomes available, the requirements on the quality of thinking increases steadily. This course introduces the structured process for problem solving that is not taught in universities and still missing in most companies.

Whether it is a briefing to an internal executive or an external client, one thing in common is that this is a great opportunity to make the most of your impact. This kind of debriefing is definitely not about stating something, but about changing your audience through carefully conceived content. What do such persuasive presentations have in common? It is not only logical and concise, but more importantly, it is listener-oriented. This course teaches the ideas, underlying logic, and methodology of designing and presenting reports, or a persuasive "way" of presentation, that is, "how to sell your ideas in reporting".

不管是一次向内部高管的汇报，还是一次向外部客户的汇报，都有一个共同点，即这是一次可以充分发挥你的影响力的极佳机会。这种汇报，绝对不是在陈述一些情况，而是通过精心构思的内容去改变你的听众。这种有说服力的汇报有什么共同点呢？就是它不仅仅是逻辑清晰和简明扼要，更重要的是它是听众导向的。本课程所教授的是设计和呈现汇报的思路、底层逻辑和方法论，或者说是一种有说服力的汇报的“道”，即“如何在汇报中Sell你的想法”。
