Free Macc webinar: Sustaining your Leadership...Avoiding burnout |
16 July, 13:00 - 14:00, Online
During this period of an ever changing landscape we need to adapt to new working practices and learn new skills. Many leaders are working flat out dealing with many directives, maintaining a sense of perspective whilst doing a good job.
Leaders feel under pressure to be kind to their employees and clients, change practice whilst increasingly under pressure to meet targets.
Delivered by Steve Playford, Leadership and Wellbeing consultant, this webinar will give you the opportunity to consider models of measuring risk, assess your priorities and still remain authentic and true to your values.
The webinar will also look at your wellbeing, your routines, and how the body deals with stress and burnout, and the emotion of change when you move out of your comfort zone.
In these times of uncertainty and crisis, leadership has never been more important. Learning about sustaining your leadership will help you to feel stronger and reframe as we move through this global pandemic.

State of the Sector 2020 |
The State of the Sector survey is back and we need your help!
The last survey in 2017 found there were an estimated 15,890 voluntary, charity and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in Greater Manchester supporting over 21.9 million interventions with clients, users or beneficiaries and are worth a total income into the city region was estimated to be £1.3 billion. This survey provided valuable evidence to decision makers of the important social and economic contribution the VCSE Sector brings to Greater Manchester and its individual boroughs.
However it is time to repeat the survey as there have been significant changes within the sector, local areas and Greater Manchester. Particularly as the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 has radically changed how we live and how the sector delivers its services.
We need to know how these changes have affected our sector to enable them to continue to make a difference by providing valuable services and supporting the people of Greater Manchester.
We will be launching the survey on the 20 July 2020 – so watch this space!
Those who complete the survey will be entered into a prize draw to win either £1,000 or £200 for their organisation.
This research will not just enable us to shine a spotlight, but also give a voice to every local area and Greater Manchester as a whole.
The State of the Sector is a partnership research initiative between 10GM (a joint venture to support the VCSE sector across Greater Manchester), GMCVO and locality partners. Leading the research on behalf of the partnership will be the University of Salford.
