Exec Connect: Crucial Conversations for Leaders

2nd July 2026

Strong leadership often comes down to having the proper conversation at the right time — and having it well. That’s why the third session in the Culturev8te Events Series, powered by Macildowie and Gather Social, focuses on Crucial Conversations for Leaders. 

This free online event, led by Keith Hobbs (Leadership & Development Specialist and Associate Director at Culturev8te Ltd), explores how leaders can approach high-stakes conversations with confidence, clarity, and empathy. From tackling underperformance to giving upward feedback or addressing sensitive change, these are the moments that shape trust, culture, and results. 

In this session, you’ll discover practical tools and approaches to prepare for crucial conversations, manage emotions under pressure, and create outcomes where relationships are strengthened rather than strained. You’ll also see how Insights Discovery colour energies can provide a lens for adapting your style to different people and situations. 

Part of a five-part leadership and management development series, this session is for leaders at every level — from new managers to senior executives — who want to turn difficult conversations into opportunities for growth.
