As a facilitator, she braves the difficult questions, has a sixth sense for when to change course, and has curated a toolkit of techniques that intuitively challenge participants to yield the greatest impact.

The fundamental skills of leadership have changed in the 2020s. Whether you’re brand-new to a leadership role or a seasoned veteran, the remote work boom has added a new layer of complexity to your work.What does it mean to lead in a virtual space and how can we connect, communicate, and inspire others without that face-to-face contact?

The corporate world can feel like a theme park — a place that’s recognisably ‘of our world’, with all the normal features (people, furniture, work), but an unshakeable feeling that something is… unreal.People aren’t quite themselves, conversations and relationships don’t work the way they do elsewhere in life, and the coffee often tastes strange!Göran Hielscher notices it, too, and his work in corporate workshops looks to undo this unrealness and bring something more authentic to the room.

How can we make an informal brainstorming session, full of possibilities and quick thinking, into something more formal… without squeezing the life from it?Alexandre Eisenchteter believes deeply in the power of brainstorming sessions — and that most of us undervalue them.
