Is your team growing faster than your people strategy?

If you’re the one constantly putting out fires, navigating team drama, or wondering if you're "doing HR right", this day is for you.

The People Playbook is a workshop-led event for business owners, CEO's, COOs, CFO's, Start-Up's and other people-first businesses.

Whether you're hiring quickly or struggling to lead the team you already have, you’ll leave with tools, clarity, and confidence.

This event is for you if:

• You lead a team (or are about to)
• You’re tired of managing conflict without a framework
• Your managers are great at their jobs but not trained to lead
• Performance is slipping, culture is fragile, and you’re carrying the weight
• You don’t have in-house HR, or the support you do have isn’t working

What you’ll walk away with:

• A clearer understanding of your leadership style
• Practical tools to manage performance, conflict, and culture
• The People Playbook workbook, packed with templates and exercises
• Clear next steps based on where your business is right now
• Real conversations with people who deal with this stuff every day & will give you the advice & solutions you need

What makes this different?

There are no vague panels, recycled theory, or slides you’ve seen before. This is hands-on, no-fluff support delivered by people who help teams like yours every single day.

Hosted by Fiona from Inicio HR, you’ll hear from and work with:

Fiona (Inicio HR)

Fiona will guide you through two core workshops:

• A Lumina personality & behavioural profiling psychometric session to help you understand how your leadership style impacts your team & how other's may percieve you.
• A practical deep-dive into the Five Dysfunctions of a Team, with real-world tools you can use straight away. You’ll leave her sessions with more self-awareness, clearer leadership boundaries, and the structure to lead without second-guessing yourself.

Pete Collins (Employment Law)

Pete will cover Employment law & common risks you need to be aware of as your business grows. He’s sharp, direct, and brings a dark sense of humour to otherwise dry (but critical) content.

Abigail Clarke (Brand & Content)

Abigail will run a hands-on workshop on Growing your personal brand to attract top talent & strengthen your business reputation.

You’ll learn:

• How to position yourself online so the right people want to work for you
• The type of content that showcases your company culture and leadership style
• How to use LinkedIn to build trust and authority in your sector
• Ways to make your leadership brand visible to both potential hires and ideal clients
• A repeatable content framework you can use to stay consistent without spending hours each week

This is for leaders who want to stop chasing candidates and start attracting the right people, while also building a brand that supports business growth and retention.

This is perfect if you want your leadership brand to work for you, not against you.
