To accommodate the busy schedules of TIOB members, we have decided to restructure the TIOB Boarding leadership conference and split the day into three sessions across three separate dates.
Should you not be able to attend all three dates, all sessions will be recorded and made available to delegates.
This conference promises to ensure that individuals in boarding can reflect on their performance in a range of spheres within their role. You will be presented with a range of perspectives, support and inspiration from experts in the field. By the end of the conference, you should be able to evaluate and develop a strategic plan allowing you to be more effective and focused in your role.

Programme:
10:30 – 11:30 – Effective ways to develop you and your boarding team
Boarding is ever changing. It is vital to ensure that your boarding skill set is up to date and that your team is inspired and motivated to ensure their CPD is relevant. This session looks at what the boarding team needs in its toolkit to be relevant, responsive to the 21st century boarder.
11:30 – 12:30 Authentic leadership: getting the best out of your team
This session will explore what authenticity means in a leadership context, and why it might be important. We will discuss how the leaders of teams in boarding can earn credibility and respect by being clear about, and true to, what they stand for as leaders, and how this can contribute to ensuring their work and the work of their teams is as successful as possible.
