Clore Leadership have recently announced two upcoming Leadership Experience sessions as part of the Tees Valley Programme, free one-off hosted conversations aimed at leaders or aspiring leaders working in the cultural sector in the Tees Valley area.
In each session cultural leaders and change-makers share their stories and experiences and will discuss learning from both successes and challenges, giving you a window into a diverse range of leadership journeys. These are informal sessions with plenty of opportunity for discussion with speakers and peers.
Their two speakers this Autumn are local poet and director, Kirsten Luckins on Tuesday 26 September and Vici Wreford-Sinnott, Writer and Director, Little Cog on Friday 8 December.
Leadership Experiences are free events that place quarterly, either online or in-person in the Tees Valley. Due to the conversational nature of the sessions they will not be recorded when online.
Don’t miss out! Sign up now to be part of the conversation.
