LeaderShift: From Survival to Transformation
Growth Faculty presents LeaderSHIFT 2026 our landmark annual leadership event on the next wave of leadership thinking. After years of disruption, and rapid social and technological change, a shift has emerged - from surviving instability to leading through transformation.
In a rare appearance, Esther Perel will deliver Relationships At Work, her practical framework for building trust, enabling candour, repairing ruptures, and setting boundaries. She conveys how human connection is essential to modern workplaces.
Why now?
Crisis mode won’t scale. Future-ready leaders need to be empathetic, adaptable and intentional. The emphasis is on building with authentic connection. The edge will be organisations that can respond confidently to what’s next, together.
Five world-class thinkers bring you actionable frameworks for leading high-performance teams through uncertainty:
Esther Perel - Relationship intelligence & human connection
Steve Martin - Influence through behavioural science
Dr Susan David - Emotional agility under pressure
Michael Bunting - Self-awareness that drives team performance
Ben Crowe - From Pressure to Freedom: Shifting the Way You Lead
LeaderShift is designed as more than a conference – it is an immersive and provocative learning experience, woven together by our dynamic MC Holly Ransom who turns every exchange into a leadership masterclass.
"Remote work, virtual communication, and hybrid setups have reshaped the meaning of 'culture.' Today, people see purpose and belonging – not just a paycheck."
