Leadership Series: Leading with the 3Cs: Conflict, Curiosity and Candour with Zoë Arden

​Conflict, curiosity and candour are three of the most underused tools in a leader's repertoire. This masterclass looks at what happens when you put them to work.

​Led by Zoë Arden, executive programme facilitator and Fellow at the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, the session draws on her forthcoming book Story-Centred Leadership (Routledge, 2026) to challenge how you think about leadership and the culture you create around you.

​Through peer discussion and practical application, you will:

• ​Rewire your mental models so conflict, curiosity and candour become drivers of change

• ​Build approaches that lead to better solutions and stronger innovation

• ​Reframe your thinking and practice to support long-term adaptability

​This session is for chiefs of staff who want to lead with more honesty, more courage and more impact.
