CLC Annual Conference 2018 – Digital Goody Bag
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our annual conference on the 15th November in London. We had a fantastic day filled with great speakers, workshops and networking! It’s such a pleasure to see so many of our members enjoying the day and learning from each other. It really makes us smile knowing we’re able to make a difference.

Stress intelligence: How to avoid burnout
Liggy Webb
Feeling a little overwhelmed by the constant need to do more for less? Liggy Webb, a best selling author and international consultant specialising in resilience and agility, shared her tips on:
1. Stress awareness – raise awareness of your own relationship with stress by understanding your triggers and responses.
2. Stress knowledge – understand stress and the effect it can have on your mental and physical health.
3. Self care – commit to self-care and establish healthy boundaries and habits.
4. Lifestyle management – manage your well-being by maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
5. Everyday energy – create moments of sanctuary to replenish your everyday energy levels.
The purpose of power
Shakil Butt
What is your purpose, what is it all about? Life? Work? M&Ms? Shakil’s session answered all those questions and explored what purpose is, particularly in the workplace.
Shakil looked at some management theories that connect to purpose and how purpose can be an enabler by unleashing the people in your organisation in the backdrop of an increasingly complex world. He also shared personal reflections, looking back at his career singling out some pivotal points in his life that have raised some soul searching questions to consider.

He shared how to:
- Improve staff satisfaction
- Transform conflict into collaboration
- Capitalise on diversity of styles
- Grow a collaborative model of leadership
- And engage staff and promote ownership
Once upon a time: Storytelling for learning
Gemma Critchley
What makes learning stick? What can we learn from movies, video games and novels about creating compelling stories that transform behaviour and that embed and sustain this change?
Gemma Critchley, Aviva’s Global Head of Technology & Innovation for Learning, shared practical insights into how we can all bring storytelling into our organisations. Gemma mentioned some videos that will help you to become a better storyteller and if you get in touch with her she will share with you.
The Knowing-Doing Gap:
Dame Moria Gibb DBE
What do you know and not do? What do your leaders know and not do in your organisation? This is called The Knowing-Doing gap! Dame Moira Gibb explained how a Knowing-Doing approach can help leadership & management development, a troubling skills gap in the charity sector.
She explained how The Knowing-Doing Gap approach can help – a term first used by Stanford professors Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert I. Sutton. She also referenced the work that Skills for Care is doing to support leaders and managers in adult social care, which employs 1.46 million people in the UK.
