Honoured to Join Richard Chase Events CONNECT 2025 – Leading Conversations on the Future of Leadership

I’m genuinely honoured to be joining Richard Chase Events CONNECT 2025 as a keynote speaker with Dr Ines Wichert (Author of ‘Accelerated Leadership Development: How to Turn Your Top Talent into Leaders’) and Jason Bloomfield (Head of People Change at Ericsson) on 20 November, Thames Valley — an event dedicated to connecting internal L&D and OD professionals with leading experts for meaningful exchanges of ideas and practical insights.

CONNECT 2025 brings together professionals who are shaping the future of learning, leadership, and organisational development. It’s a space where shared passion meets practical insight — creating the conditions for genuine collaboration and growth.

This year’s themes couldn’t be more timely or relevant.

Across the day, the programme will explore:

• AI-enabled learning 

• The future of leadership development 

• Mindful resilience 

• Developing Gen Z 

• The evolving dynamics of hybrid teams

It’s an incredible opportunity to exchange perspectives with L&D and OD leaders from organisations including Erickson, Vodafone, PMC, Noble Foods, McLaren Automotive, Tech Systems, BM Caterers, and MHA Baker Tilly — and to explore how we can build leadership capability for a future that’s already here.

In my keynote, I’ll be unpacking how AI has become the new global change accelerator — exposing the same leadership capability gaps revealed by previous crises like COVID and the Financial Crash — and why internal capability building is now the defining competitive advantage for organisations.

Thank you to Richard Chase Events for creating such an important forum for learning, connection, and collaboration. I’m excited to join this community of forward-thinking leaders and share insights that help bridge the gap between strategy and execution in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
