We are very excited to be offering our members an opportunity to join us, in person, at a workshop about "Fearless Leadership: what we have learned from exploring the types of leadership needed in times of complexity and change" with our guest Karen Creavin of the Active Wellbeing Society. In the workshop you will explore and discuss how we start to think differently about our role in systems and how we understand fear and courage to help us in our work.
The workshop will aim to look at fearlessness and courageousness in times of deep change covering two foundational premises to what Karen has explored in her work:
1. We’re living in times of extreme change that call for courage… How do we stay with the trouble? How do we use the disruption to find new forms of collaborating and organising?
2. Many of the issues are caused by a knowing/doing gap. We collectively have a good sense of the action needed but making the change happen is complex. How do we harness our collective imaginations to create better?
Karen is Chief Executive at The Active Wellbeing Society – a community benefit society and cooperative, based in Birmingham and working nationally across the country. The organisation aims to be part of the solution to tackling inequality and promote community wellbeing. She is an innovative public service leader, with a reputation for disrupting, provoking and inspiring change, pushing at the boundaries of provision and always fighting for the least heard voices. She has overseen the delivery of multi-million pound projects, operated at a senior level within Europe’s largest Local Authority and influenced significant system change across health, transport, sport and physical activity. Karen understands how to shift systems and facilitate transformative change across sectors, how to speak truth to power, and how to lean in, be with, and show up for those underrepresented communities locally and nationally.
We are extremely grateful to
