Overview

Power BI is a business analytics service developed by Microsoft. It provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end users to create their own reports and dashboards. Power BI allows users to connect to a wide variety of data sources, both on-premises and in the cloud, and then transform and model the data for analysis, reporting and decision-making. Key features of Power BI include:
  • Data Connectivity: Power BI can connect to a wide range of data sources, including Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud-based and on-premises data sources, and many others.
  • Data Transformation and Modelling: Users can shape and transform data using Power BI's Power Query Editor. This allows for cleaning and formatting data to make it suitable for analysis. The data modelling capabilities enable the creation of relationships between different data tables.
  • Data Visualization: Power BI offers a variety of visualization options, including charts, graphs, maps, and tables. Users can create interactive and engaging reports and dashboards to represent data in a meaningful way.
  • Dashboard and Report Creation: Power BI allows users to create interactive dashboards and reports by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas. These dashboards can then be shared with others.
  • Natural Language Queries: Users can ask questions about their data using natural language queries, and Power BI will generate visualizations based on the data.

Overview

What if vulnerability wasn’t a weakness in leadership, but a practical skill? In high-pressure environments, leaders often feel they must have the answers, remain composed, and project certainty. Yet these expectations can unintentionally create distance, reduce openness, and limit team performance. This session introduces The Vulnerability Toolkit, a practical, psychology-informed approach to leadership that helps managers build trust, encourage open communication, and create conditions for both wellbeing and performance. This introductory session offers a taster of the core concepts and tools leaders can use to foster stronger relational and team dynamics. Participants will explore what vulnerability looks like in practice, when it helps (and when it doesn’t), and how small shifts in leadership behaviour can have a significant impact. Drawing on work delivered in elite sport environments - including sessions with professional athletes and high-performance staff in Rome and Auckland - this webinar translates high-performance psychology into practical insights for workplace leaders. This session is designed to be thought-provoking, practical and immediately relevant, while introducing a toolkit that can be explored more deeply in future workshops.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this session, participants will:
  • Understand vulnerability as a leadership skill, not a personality trait
  • Learn why vulnerability supports trust, engagement and performance
  • Recognise common leadership habits that unintentionally reduce openness
  • Explore when vulnerability is helpful — and when boundaries matter
  • Gain an introduction to the Vulnerability Toolkit for leaders
  • Identify small shifts that can improve team communication and trust
  • Reflect on their own leadership style and impact

Why should I attend

This session is ideal for managers and leaders who:
  • Want to build trust and openness within their teams
  • Are leading through uncertainty or change
  • Want to improve communication and team engagement
  • Feel pressure to “have all the answers”
  • Are interested in psychologically safe, high-performing cultures
  • Want practical leadership insights grounded in real-world experience
This introductory session offers a taster of tools and ideas that can be explored more deeply in follow-up workshops and programmes.
