Celebrating a year of leadership development in Hull & East Yorkshire

This week marked the final event of our HEY100 programme for leaders working across Hull and East Yorkshire’s voluntary, cultural and social sectors. Spanning over 2018, this intensive initiative has seen leaders of all levels - from new managers to trustees and community champions - come together and build their leadership abilities to advance social change in the region. They have been stretched, challenged, and empowered, and have demonstrated that leadership development can extend beyond the individual, and translate into wide, durable change across organisations and sectors.

With an inspiring and thought-provoking talk from Eve Poole on Leadersmithing, the celebration event acknowledged the value of innovative approaches to leadership and celebrated the dedication, collaboration, and progress shown by everyone involved.

Commenting on the HEY100 journey, Clore Social’s Director of Programmes & Leadership Innovation Louise Drake said: 'Unlocking the potential of over 100 leaders in Hull and East Yorkshire has been inspiring. The generosity of everyone to share knowledge, skills and resources with the openness for collaboration and the determination to do better and be better has been phenomenal. It feels like this is just the start of something magic and it is all because of the vision and willingness to 'give it a go' by the people of Hull and East Yorkshire.'

We are delighted to have been part of this and would like to congratulate everyone involved. Have a look below to see some pictures from the event.

Dr. Hoyland spoke to our cohort of 20 senior leaders on how running an emotionally aware organisation can benefit employees and, ultimately, beneficiaries, as well as the potential pitfalls.

A big thank you to the C4DI for providing their auditorium space for the session.

The Emerging Leader Programme is an immersive six-month programme that will provide you with the confidence, connections and skills to lead and drive social change.

What's more, the programme is free!
 
To be eligible for the programme, you need to be a manager with 3-8 years of experience in leading projects, staff and/or volunteers. Successful candidates will have aspirations to be leaders of organisations in the next 5-10 years’ and want to lead and drive social change. 

Here's what past participants had to say:

“‘My confidence was very low at the beginning of the programme, since starting the programme I have grown massively as a leader in my organisation.
”
“‘This programme provided me with a brilliant opportunity to rethink the way I work and the leadership opportunities and challenges I was facing. It gave me the chance to collaborate with some of the brightest minds from my sector and I feel I have become a confident leader as a result.” ”

Jamie Peacock MBE, Head of Rugby at Hull Kingston Rovers said, ‘Great leadership is about inspiring the people around you to grow and develop so that together you can achieve your shared goals and be successful. I urge anyone who wants to build their leadership skills to join us for this event. The HEY100 Leadership Programme is a fantastic opportunity that the entire region will benefit from.’

The HEY100 Leadership Programme, a free leadership and management development series, is open to managers and leaders in Hull and East Yorkshire. It aims to cultivate leadership excellence to further strengthen the region’s voluntary, social and cultural sectors.  

Helen Bissett, Managing Director at H&H, a leading UK communications agency based in Yorkshire added, ‘In my experience, it is the quality of leadership that makes the difference. Everyone is capable of individually achieving great things, but it’s leadership that gels the potential together into something extraordinary. If you passionately care about your organisation’s success, this is an event not to be missed.’
