A one-day, business skills programme for busy legal professionals with an eye on the future

Presented by Simon Tupman

'Simon’s workshop is a great insight to the world of leadership. Particularly, identifying the difference between leadership and management, tips on how to implement positive and constructive leadership and how this relates to staff and client satisfaction, not to mention productivity and the follow through to business growth. It is not only an informative workshop thanks to Simons wealth of knowledge, but also in the collaborative sharing between peers in the industry. Highly recommended.’
