Lunch and Learn

Join us for a relaxed and engaging Lunch & Learn at Nutfield Priory.
Join us for a relaxed and engaging Lunch & Learn at Nutfield Priory. Enjoy valuable networking over a buffet lunch, followed by a session with Joe Cheal, Lead Imaginarian & Trainer at Imaginarium Learning & Development.   Demystifying Culture Change   Is your culture supporting growth—or quietly working against it?   Culture creep can bring loss of strong performers, lack of accountability and ownership, silo working, morale challenges… and many other costs to the business. Culture changes whether you manage it or not. The question is whether it is moving in your favour.   Culture is the hidden force driving performance, retention and change success… the invisible dynamics helping—or hindering—your business growth. To ignore it or to misunderstand it is to put your business at risk.   In this lively Lunch and Learn, you will gain some top tips to help you:   Improve alignment between people, behaviour and strategy Build a culture that supports growth, not friction Reduce the hidden costs of cultural drift Turn culture into a business asset, not a vague aspiration Diagnose the invisible patterns affecting performance Lead culture intentionally rather than reactively   The speaker, Joe Cheal (Imaginarium Learning & Development) brings over 30 years’ experience in business psychology modelling. By attending, you will walk away with frameworks to diagnose the culture you have… then influence and shape the culture you actually want.   Venue: Nutfield Priory Hotel & Spa, Nutfield Rd, Redhill, RH1 4EL Date: Tuesday 28th April Time: 12:30-14:00 Price: £22.00+VAT for gdb Members £28.00+VAT for Non-Members   Please note that photography may take place at this event for promotional purposes.
