This month's workshop - What's in a why?
What to expect
In this session James will explore how purpose lost its way and how relevant it is in 2026.
With some interactive exercises, we’ll look at how, by focusing on what matters internally for your business and your workforce, you can build confidence externally.
James has worked in marketing communications with clients all over the world, focusing on purpose and sustainability comms for the last 5 years. But working in purpose doesn't always mean believing in it...
Expect to leave with a fresh perspective on:
- how to realign purpose within your business in a commercially useful way
- how your internal objectives can inform your external communications
- how to supercharge your strongest asset
We'll be exploring examples of what good, and bad, look like.
