Topics, Sessions And Talks
Tee Twyford explores how being "too kind" can hinder aspiring leaders. She reveals that well-meaning actions may unintentionally stifle team members, leaving them feeling undervalued or frustrated. Drawing from her experiences and work with global executives, Tee identifies five common "kindness traps" that can derail effective leadership. Attendees will learn actionable strategies to overcome these pitfalls and foster a more empowering environment for their teams.
In her session, leadership coach Tee Twyford addresses the negative connotations of HUSTLE, often linked to burnout. She advocates for harnessing high-energy without the exhaustion, emphasising the importance of finding a personal balance between HUSTLE and hush. Attendees will learn to evaluate their current HUSTLE to hush ratio and discover actionable strategies to restore equilibrium, enabling them to embrace positive energy while avoiding fatigue. This approach ensures a sustainable and fulfilling engagement with their ambitions.
Tee Twyford, a high-performing leader, faced a humbling revelation during a 360 feedback review: she was perceived as terrible at receiving feedback. This experience ignited her passion for mastering feedback over the past decade. In her talk, Tee will share the six essential "Cs" that can transform challenging feedback conversations. Attendees will learn how to turn feedback into a powerful tool for connection, understanding, and growth, ultimately enhancing their leadership skills.
Tee Twyford emphasises the importance of intentional acts of kindness in the workplace, rather than random gestures. While random acts can be charming, true appreciation requires deliberate actions that resonate with recipients. Many employees leave jobs feeling unappreciated, often due to a lack of meaningful recognition. In her session, Tee will address the three main challenges of workplace appreciation and teach attendees how to implement intentional acts of kindness effectively.
Tee Twyford will guide attendees through the emotional challenges of the first 100 days in a new job. With nearly half of UK job seekers contemplating quitting within six months, understanding "shift shock" is crucial. Tee will help participants recognise the common stages of acclimatisation, distinguishing between genuine red flags and normal fluctuations. By exploring the journey from initial enthusiasm to eventual acceptance, attendees will learn how to effectively navigate their emotional rollercoaster and thrive in their new roles.
