Last week I attended the Executive Leaders Network (ELN) HR Engage Summit, and what a day it was. Insightful keynote speakers and panel discussions, hosted by Peter Dorrington on topics that are on (or at least should be) every workplaces agenda,

A few that I had the pleasure of listening to and connecting with:

Sarah Ford from Diageo sharing how they foster a culture of collaboration.

Dan Fulker from Nuffield Health & Katie Wery from Medigold Health discussing the importance of wellbeing in the workplace.

One of my favourite panels from the day (I'm a little biassed as I enjoyed an evening meal with these guys a day before, and it's a passion topic for me!) Maria Hawley FCIPD from Fisher German LLP, Heather Coker from Morgan Advanced Materials & Michael Celestin (Assoc CIPD) from Knight Frank Promise sharing their insights and discussing the importance of human leadership.

Last but not least, another favourite because of the frank (much needed) conversations around inclusion and belonging with Tasneem Bhopalwala (CIPD) from Oxford University Press, Zakaria Milad from Just Eat Takeaway.com, Annisha Taylor (Assoc. CIPD) from BBC and Sarah Hayes - Chartered(FCIPD) from Securitas Technology UK

It's always great to connect with people who share the same drive and passion for change, learning, and growth.
