Key benefits
Sustainable leadership involves maintaining effectiveness over the long term.
Leaders who prioritise self-respect are more likely to sustain their leadership capabilities by avoiding burnout and maintaining their passion and motivation.
I highly recommend Dr Iscoe as a passionate and engaging speaker, who uses personal and general life experiences to connect with her audience. Her presentation was informative and thought provoking, using audience participation and technology to demonstrate her key points.

Key Insight - Rise with Respect
When you drop the act you make a bigger impact.
We spend our entire lives wearing masks to shield ourselves from perceived criticism or judgement by others. Yet what we often fail to realise is that our harshest critic is ourselves. We are essentially running a race against ourselves with no finish line. True leadership and authentic connections emerge when we let go of self-created barriers and embrace our genuine selves.
Key Insight - The Imposter Illusion
Self-doubt is a sign of reflection, not imperfection.
Our minds can trick us into believing that a feeling of doubt means that disaster looms ahead. As a result, we don’t raise our hands to speak (so we don’t say something ‘stupid’) and wait until we’re ‘ready’ to take on new challenges (so we don’t fail). But imagine if we looked at self-doubt as a sign to ‘go’ not take things ‘slow’?
