In search of practical strategies for resolving conflict?

Needing to raise your leadership presence in the workplace?

In an exciting first for JCI London, we'll be joined by a team of top speakers from the UK Professional Speaking Association (PSA) - experts in negotiation, the art of doing business on the internet, reconciliation and personal impact.

By attending this single event, you will have the opportunity to hear from 4 speakers on a range of topics as well as interact with the speakers in a breakout discussion session. Not to forget, the ever popular post event drinks at the bar giving you the opportunity to mingle and discuss in a much more relaxed and informal environment!

To access this calibre of expertise would - under normal circumstances - cost a small fortune. But not tonight!
