Yorkshire businesses gain award-winning insight into how to thrive in a volatile world
An award-winning global performance consultancy hosted an event in Leeds city centre with a focus on creating powerful teams.
Tougher Minds, which delivers practical, effective and highly engaging training to help people improve resilience, well-being and personal performance, was created by Yorkshire-born Dr. Jon Finn. The consultancy has helped more than 10,000 people with its programmes during the last decade.
The company, which has identified Leeds, with its vibrant business community and rapidly growing tech sector, as a key market, hosted the event for business leaders on Thursday 21 June.
Attendees heard how a new mindset is needed in the workplace to deal with challenges created by the ‘V.U.C.A.’ world. Coined by the US military, V.U.C.A. stands for volatility, unpredictability, complexity and ambiguity.
It is now applied to business and industry to describe how organisations face major change, created by new technologies and rapidly shifting demands.
At the event, solutions for dealing with these challenges were outlined to an audience including HR and management consultancies, accountancy firms, and major banks and insurance companies.
Dr. Jon Finn, founder of Tougher Minds commented:
“The V.U.C.A. world is real and is creating challenges for businesses and organisations in Yorkshire.
“At our event in Leeds, there was widespread recognition of the changing nature of our working lives. There was also a great appetite to understand how our approaches to developing resilience, well-being and performance can be applied to support people and teams to thrive in the face of these challenges.”
