What is the secret to Confident Leadership and Project Management? 💡


Last week, we kicked off our hashtagMillionMakers CPD-accredited Skill Sessions with a bang, giving our 2026 cohort an insight into effective leadership.

Huge thank you to Francesca Speroni, Head of Private Banking at EFG, Emilia Bayer, Chief of Staff at Worldpay, and Sam Ellis, Head of Engagement at Atos (and All Stars Team Chair) for sharing their insights ⭐What a fantastic panel!

Here's some key takeaways from the session:

🤝 Take your Team on the Journey: A good leader includes their team in decisions, and cultivates a culture where team members can challenge and contribute to the group vision.

🗣️ Listening and Communication Come First: Understand your team before you lead them – what motivates them to drive results?

🎧 Block the Outside Noise: As a leader, it's important to create a safe space for your team to thrive, which often involves blocking unnecessary distractions and external pressures.

📖 Preparation is the Key to Confidence: Once you feel ready and prepared for an event, meeting, or discussion, confidence will naturally follow.

Save the date for our next Skill Session, 'Building Connections and Influencing', on Tuesday 18th August – calendar invites to follow soon 📅
