View event details(ALL) Leading Change
Watch out for the non-conscious barriers that are working against change. 85% of executives cite change as critical to business success in these disruptive times. Yet all too often it is seen as a threat. If change is so important, why are people afraid of it? What is stopping them adopting an innovative and growth mindset? Quite simply, it’s our subconscious biases that protect the status quo and our tendency to emphasise the negative at the expense of the positive – negativity bias. Change creates winners and losers and the fear of loss looms larger than gain. Yet we all have the ultimate tool for change at our disposal… our brain!

View event details(GI) Directors and Officers insurance overview
The webinar will briefly explain the history of D&O and how the D&O marketplace is changing dramatically due to the economy. The sad fact is that many businesses will struggle badly over the next few years and lots of redundancies will have to be made. This will result in a sharp spike in both Directors and Officers and Employment Liability Practices claims. The market will harden and that is why it is essential brokers have conversations with their clients now. It should also be noted that many more directors are being sued individually and that the amount of HSE prosecutions have trebled against individual directors since 2015. This is no longer a cover that ANY director can ignore, and ironically if a director refuses D&O without consulting their fellow directors they have massively increased their own personal D&O exposure! This webinar, presented by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, will explore the sources of potential claims and how to put the right cover in place.
