Leadership & delegation #4 of 5: Communication, influence and feedback
18 March 2026, 2:00pm – 3.30pm
Join Business Surrey for the fourth of five sessions in our Leadership & Delegation series.
In just 90 minutes, you’ll gain practical, actionable tools you can start using the same afternoon. The session is hands‑on, with real examples and simple frameworks owners and managers can implement immediately.
In small organisations, every conversation matters. Leaders often believe they are being clear, while teams (as well as customers and stakeholders) may experience confusion or mixed signals.
This webinar focuses on practical, human communication skills. Participants will explore how influence is built through clarity, calmness and follow-through, and how effective feedback protects standards while strengthening relationships.
The result is better conversations, greater influence, fewer misunderstandings, improved performance, and leadership that feels credible and steady under pressure.

Leadership & delegation #5 of 5: Commercial decision making
26 March | 11:00 am – 12:30 pm | online | fully funded
Join Business Surrey for the final session in our Leadership & Delegation series.
In just 90 minutes, this session gives you practical tools you can put to work the same day. It’s hands‑on, using simple frameworks and real examples owners and managers can apply immediately.
The final webinar brings the whole series together by tackling one of the biggest leadership challenges: knowing what to focus on. With opportunities, problems and priorities all competing for attention, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. When everything feels urgent, nothing truly moves forward.
This session introduces clear, practical methods – like Forcefield Analysis, the Eisenhower Matrix, Scenario Thinking and other decision‑making tools – to help leaders cut through noise, prioritise with confidence and direct effort where it matters most.
The result? Better use of time and resources, stronger commercial discipline, clearer execution, and a calmer, more predictable route to growth.
