Leadership Mastermind course in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd April 2026
Leadership Mastermind April 2026 programme
Welcome to our transformative 2-day Leadership Course, on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd April 2026, specially designed for consultant medical doctors, SAS doctors and resident doctors who would be consultant soon.
As leaders in the medical field, your role goes beyond clinical expertise; you are the guiding force behind high-performing teams and pivotal communication strategies. At the same time, we need to remember leadership has got two realms, one what is within my control and second what we can influence. Hence, over the two days in April, we will delve into powerful leadership strategies, explore the realms of emotional intelligence, and unveil the principles of human needs psychology in leadership.
Join us as we uncover the art of navigating difficult conversations and fortify your skills in fostering an environment where high-performance teams can thrive. Let’s embark on this journey to elevate your leadership skills and make a lasting impact on your professional landscape. 80% feedback from previous course suggested must attend for future healthcare leaders.
