Flock: Comfortable with the uncomfortable

Event: 7th & 8th November at Royal Berkshire

By invitation

Edition 5 of Flock will embrace difficult conversations to reevaluate discomfort as a catalyst for innovation and business success. 

Our speakers have been chosen for their purpose and resolute determination to put uncomfortable conversations on the business agenda. We will be joined by Sinead Burke, CEO of Tilting the Lens who put disability on the front cover of Vogue and Deloitte’s Matt Stallard who will talk neurodiversity and embracing difference in the workplace. Dr Phil Hopley from Cognacity together with Kevin Ellis, formally with PwC will share tactics on how to deal with the scrutiny of a Parliamentary Committee.

Comfortable with the uncomfortable comes with trigger warnings, big learnings and standout opportunities to network with likeminded peers.

Places are limited and are by invite only.  If you’re ready to reframe difficult conversations into business learnings, this is for you!
