Resilient leadership for engineers – a practical introduction

The world faces unprecedented levels of uncertainty, change and challenge, yet resilience and leadership are not routinely taught or deliberately developed alongside technical expertise.

Engineers are uniquely placed to tackle many of the complex challenges facing society. But creating impact in this environment requires more than technical knowledge. It requires the ability to navigate uncertainty, make effective decisions, influence others, lead through change and maintain focus when the pressure is on.
This interactive masterclass offers engineers a preview of the capabilities explored in depth within the full Resilient Leadership course launching in February 2027.

The webinar will introduce the Resilient Leaders Elements™ model and explores the capabilities that enable leaders to respond effectively to adversity, complexity and change increasing your impact across your projects, teams and organisation.
