Many leaders feel like they’re constantly responding to forces outside their control: policy shifts, funding pressures, stakeholder expectations and changing community needs.
If that sounds familiar, don’t miss this opportunity think differently about the challenges you’re trying to solve and turn insight into action.
On Wednesday 30 September, ImpactInstitute and Snowmelt are joining forces to deliver a full-day, in-person ImpactLab Masterclass designed to help you understand the systems shaping your work, and give you the tools to maximise your influence.
Bringing together expertise in systems thinking, impact strategy, measurement, storytelling and influence, this hands-on workshop will help you uncover new opportunities, tackle complex challenges with greater confidence, and create a clearer pathway to change.
With only 12 places available, you will benefit from rich discussion and dedicated time to apply tools and frameworks directly to your own work.
The Masterclass will explore:
- How to understand your challenge within the context of a wider system
- Where the greatest opportunities for influence exist
- How to create a clear pathway from vision to action
- What evidence matters most when measuring progress and impact
- How to tell a compelling story that brings others with you
- Practical tools in impact measurement and storytelling
The Masterclass is suitable for:
- CEOs and Founders
- Board Members
- C-Suite Executives
- Impact Leaders
NOTE: No technical background is required.
