INSPIRATION SESSIONS • MASTERCLASSES • KEYNOTES
A tailored session focused on your labour market or organisational challenge.
Michael Boud introduces executive teams, board members, leaders, teams and collaborative networks to a different way of thinking about how to reach and engage people through relationships.
A session tailored to your challenge, your audience and the action you want to inspire.
Relationships connect you with more people
Every session starts with your challenge
An executive team aiming to encourage employees to act as ambassadors requires a different conversation from a steering group seeking to reach more professionals. Similarly, a thought-provoking keynote at a conference calls for a different approach from an away day where board members want to make decisions together.
That is why Michael designs every session around the audience, the challenge and the desired outcome.
01
Reach & relationships
How reach grows through people who are already connected.
05
Leadership
How leadership influences engagement, behaviour and ambassadorship.
02
Social networks
Gaining insight into existing networks, connections and missing relationships.
06
Network activation
How to use people, stories, relationships and touchpoints to inspire action.
03
Referral recruitment
How employees and other stakeholders contribute to recruitment through referrals.
04
Ambassadorship
What makes people speak positively about an organisation or initiative of their own accord?
07
Labour market
Rethinking how people find information, opportunities and work.
08
Benchmark & survey
Using our own research data and insights to challenge assumptions and spark discussion.
Depending on the challenge, Michael combines different perspectives, real-world examples,
research and data from the Referral Recruitment Benchmark.
Sometimes the main objective is to help people see things differently. Sometimes it is to start a conversation.
And sometimes a group needs to have made concrete decisions by the end of the session.
From conference hall to strategy away day: the content, examples, format and depth
are tailored to the audience and the intended outcome.**
The format follows the purpose.
Keynote
Inspiring people and offering a fresh perspective. For conferences, events and larger gatherings.
Inspirational session
Challenging assumptions, encouraging reflection and facilitating dialogue. For executive teams, project teams and other groups.
Masterclass
Deepening understanding and applying insights to your own practice. For groups ready to take their thinking further.
Strategic workshop
Working on a specific challenge. For executive teams, boards, programme teams or steering groups.
For whom?
Executive teams, boards & leadership
When reach, ambassadorship, leadership, culture or labour market issues form part of a broader organisational challenge.
Steering groups & collaborative networks
When employers, educational institutions, government, industry bodies or other partners want to work together to reach and engage more people.
HR, recruitment & communication
For an in-depth exploration of referral recruitment, ambassadorship, communications, network activation and the role of existing relationships.
A session grounded in both research and practice
Michael combines over 25 years of experience in recruitment, labour markets and social networks with his own research and a distinctive perspective on how people are reached and inspired to act through relationships.
Depending on the challenge challenge, he brings together insights into social networks, trust, referral recruitment, ambassadorship and leadership with real-world examples and benchmark data.
