This event has ended.
In her two decades researching organisations, Michelle King has discovered that people who succeed possess a particularly unique skill: They know how workplaces work. More specifically, to get ahead, they do not rely on the often generic and outdated written formal rules that for a century have defined the workplace. Instead, they have learned to gauge how they should behave and perform by becoming aware of informal (and unspoken) rules that exist just below the surface, rather than “formal” organisational guidelines.
The new world of work requires a new way of working. With more people vying for top positions, a volatile global workplace, and an ever-evolving landscape, it is increasingly important for employees to understand how to negotiate the unspoken and intangible elements of workplace culture.
Michelle will join us to offer her proprietary framework based on over ten years of research and hundreds of employees who reached leadership positions.
