About this Event

How to Build Leaders People Actually Want to Follow

Leadership development shouldn't stop at teaching people what good leadership looks like. It should change how they show up every day.

Join leadership coach and author Tim Roberts for a practical Leadership Event to coincide with the launch of his new book, Lead by Example NOT by Job Title.

You'll discover the everyday leadership behaviours that build trust, improve accountability, strengthen team culture and help leaders have the conversations they're often avoiding.

Expect practical tools, honest discussion and ideas you can start using immediately; whether you're leading a team yourself or developing leaders across your organisation.

Places are complimentary and limited to encourage discussion and networking, so early booking is recommended.

How to Lead by Example NOT by Job Title inspirational talk
Host: Tim Roberts

Info: Tim will deliver an interactive and inspirational talk to introduce his new book, How to Lead by Example NOT by Job Title, exploring how organisations can develop leaders who people actually want to follow.

Drawing on his experience of working with leaders and teams across different organisations, Tim will share what he's learned about building trust, creating accountability and developing team cultures that people genuinely want to be part of.

This won't be another talk about what good leadership should look like. Tim will challenge some of the everyday behaviours that get in the way of good leadership and explore why knowing what to do doesn't always translate into actually doing it.

Expect honest stories, practical ideas, a few uncomfortable questions and tools you can take straight back into your organisation.

Leadership Panel Q&A
Host: Tim Roberts

Info: The Leadership Reality Check

What are organisations really struggling with when it comes to developing leaders and what actually makes a difference?

Tim will facilitate a no-BS conversation with three leadership experts, exploring the challenges HR teams and organisations are facing right now.

We'll get into the stuff that doesn't always make it into leadership programmes: accountability, difficult conversations, trust, changing behaviour, managing pressure, developing new leaders and creating cultures where people can perform at their best.

There'll be no rehearsed answers or corporate scripts. Tim will challenge the panel, dig into their experiences and explore what they've seen work and what hasn't.

And this isn't just our conversation. You'll have the opportunity to put your own leadership challenges and questions to the panel.

Come curious. Ask the difficult question. Let's have the leadership conversations that actually matter.


🕑: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
Networking lunch & book signing

Info: Your chance to network with like-minded people & grab your lunch. Tim will also be signing copeis of his new book.


🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Mini Enthuse Workshop
Host: Tim Roberts

Info: Would You Want to Work for You?

How do you develop leaders who don’t just know what good leadership looks like, but actually demonstrate it every day?

In this interactive Mini-Enthuse Workshop, Tim will give you a taste of the practical approach he uses with organisations to help leaders become more self-aware, understand their impact and take greater responsibility for the example they set.

You’ll experience an activity you can use to challenge leaders to explore how they want people to feel when working with them, the behaviours that create that experience and the gap that can exist between their intentions and what their teams actually experience.

Whether you’re developing leaders across your organisation or leading a team yourself, you’ll leave with practical questions and ideas you can use immediately.

Because developing better leaders isn’t just about giving them more knowledge.

It’s about helping them turn that knowledge into different behaviour.

Enthuse Your Leadership
Host: Tim Roberts

Info: Enthuse Your Leadership – Leadership Development You Can Actually Use

What if leadership development didn’t end when the workshop finished?

Tim will introduce Enthuse Your Leadership — brand-new practical leadership development packs designed to keep leaders thinking, challenging themselves and taking action long after the workshop.

Created for HR & L&D teams, leadership programmes, team development and leaders themselves, the packs turn leadership development into something people can pick up, use and keep coming back to.

And you won’t just hear Tim talk about them.

You’ll get your hands on the packs, play with the cards and Sound Boards, try out some of the activities and discover different ways you could use them to bring leadership development to life across your organisation.

Plus, two attendees will win a brand-new Enthuse Your Leadership Pack to take away and start using.

Come and experience the leadership development tool you’ll actually want your leaders to use.
