During this insightful talk, former Royal Marine Commandos, Leadership Coaches, and Loopin Co-Founders, Ben and Antony, will answer questions around:
Julie Main – Master Principal Solution Architect at Qlik – The Importance of Storytelling with Data
From caveman drawings to silent movies, visual storytelling has been used to educate, engage, and motivate audiences for centuries. The digital age, however, has ushered in a new set of tools and technologies that can be used for visual storytelling.
So what makes a ‘good’ story? Julie will be showing you how you can get your insight into your data, collaborate, get the engagement from others and help to support and prompt decision making.
Amy Lobé (She / Her) – Senior Product Designer at Seccl – Empathy – The Access Tool to Accessibility
Amy will be holding an interactive session all about accessibility. In this talk, you will find out how empathy is the most powerful tool and how to build with accessibility in mind.

Lead with Authenticity

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.
