    Networking

    UM4NS began life as a series of talks among entrepreneurs, providing them with a platform to step out from behind ‘what they do’ and venture into the ‘who I am, what holds me back and how I moved forward’.

    HUM4NS provided a platform for ordinary people to share Honest, Uplifting, Motivational, Aspirational, Nourishment for the Soul, inspiring others to take action and build towards achieving their own dreams.

    Stepping into a brave new world and opening ourselves up to a new audience, HUM4NS has a simple but important quest; to help the world be a happier, healthier, smarter and kinder place, by providing a place for people to learn, grow and develop.

    The Square Club, 15 Berkeley Square, Bristol BS8 1HB

    Networking

    I already know you’re good at your job, that’s why you’re here.
    You’ve spent years mastering your craft and take pride in your work.
    But being a leader means more than just getting the work done.
    Now, you’re expected to voice opinions, make decisions, and solve problems.
    And when you’re still new to leadership, that can feel daunting.
    You’ve had some great leaders in the past (and a few you’d rather not become).
    Now it’s your turn. It’s time to work out how you want to lead.
    This session isn’t about fixed leadership styles or corporate stereotypes. It’s about bringing your personality, values, and experience into how you show up at work.

    You’ll leave with practical tools, honest stories, and fresh perspective, whether leading a team, a business or yourself.

    You’ll also have the chance to meet a lovely group of peers here in the South West who are figuring it out too.

    What we’ll cover:

    ✅ What authentic leadership really looks like (and what it’s not).
    ✅ How to build trust without pretending to be someone you’re not.
    ✅ How to feel more confident in your role — even when you don’t have all the answers.

    You’ll leave with new perspectives, useful tools, and a network of brilliant peers in the South West who are facing similar challenges.
