The Work Behind the Work

15th May 2025

from 08:30 for 09:00 - 10:30 am
Central Manchester
(venue sent upon registration)

Step away from the usual People Agenda for a chance to come together and surface the niggles, tensions and unspoken pressures that build up in the day-to-day of senior people leadership.

You know the feeling… always being “on” for others while holding your own uncertainty. Stretched between strategy and the daily grind. Trying to stay connected to purpose that sometimes gets buried under the noise. The fatigue of driving change in systems that aren’t quite ready. Caring deeply—while trying to hold boundaries. And occasionally wondering… is it just me?

These can often be the issues that need the most attention as they can point to deeper patterns: how leadership and organisational culture are evolving, what’s being asked of the people function, and how we sustain ourselves in these roles.

This breakfast is a lightly facilitated, confidential space to make sense of this together -  with peers who get the weight and complexity of the role.

You might leave with:

• A clearer view on something that’s been sitting just under the surface
• A sense of solidarity—you’re not the only one feeling it
• Fresh perspectives from people who ask the kinds of questions you want more of
