Women in Resilience: Communication & Professional Edge: Career Success Habits
Join us this BCI Education Month for an inspiring webinar hosted by the BCI Women in Resilience Committee. This session will explore how mastering effective communication can elevate your career, support resilience-building, and foster leadership excellence.
In today's fast-evolving world of risk and resilience, soft skills aren’t a ‘nice-to-have’—they’re mission-critical.
This practical and engaging webinar explores how sharpening your communication, influence, and self-awareness can supercharge your CPD, mentoring experiences, and long-term career development.
Join Change Leadership & Resilience Coach Kris Thorne as she shares essential success habits that help professionals in Business Continuity and Risk Management build influence, navigate change, and demonstrate value in their organisations.
You’ll learn:
• How to communicate with clarity and confidence in high-stakes conversations
• The art of navigating difficult discussions and getting buy-in
• Practical tools to build your interpersonal edge and embed resilience in your daily work
• Why habits like active listening and self-reflection are the hidden drivers of long-term growth.
We’ll also introduce the GC Index – a unique tool to understand your impact style and how you lead through change.
Whether you’re mentoring others, being mentored yourself, or simply want to lead with greater impact – this session offers real-world insights to power your next step.
Bring your notepad and your curiosity. You’ll leave with actionable takeaways to support your professional edge and future growth.
We look forward to welcoming you!
