Exec Connect – Culture & Leadership with Keith Hobbs

Shaping Culture. Leading Change. Building Sustainable Teams.

Part of the Exec Connect Networking Group

Culture is not accidental — it’s designed, led, and lived. In an age of disruption, organisations with strong, adaptive cultures outperform. That’s why Exec Connect is proud to introduce a dedicated Culture & Leadership strand led by Keith Hobbs, Associate Director at CultureVate and seasoned leadership practitioner.

With his background in transforming leadership, coaching teams, and embedding behavioural change, Keith brings a hands-on, results-oriented approach. His sessions are designed to move leaders from insight to action — strengthening accountability, communication, and mindset across teams.

What You’ll Learn

Over the course of this series, Keith will guide you through:

• Strategy Mapping for Leaders — turning strategic intent into clear, aligned visual frameworks that bring clarity and focus across teams.
• Accountability in Action — leveraging tools like the Strategic Accountability Matrix to ensure goals are not just agreed on, but truly owned, tracked, and delivered.
• Crucial Conversations for Leaders — methods and mindset for tackling high-stakes discussions with composure, empathy, and clarity.
• Sales Effectiveness for Leaders — using the Insights toolset to adapt your influencing style, build trust, and elevate performance in client and internal relationships.
• Culture, Mindset & Change — embedding behaviours and growth mindset practices that support sustainable transformation and resilience.
