Over 300 public relations and communications practitioners gathered at our annual conference yesterday to explore how the profession is redefining leadership in the modern business landscape. Read a full conference recap in our newsroom: https://bit.ly/4r0YzSK

“A brand only exists in other people's heads. And if you want to be a good leader, you want to make sure that when you're not in the room, people know what you stand for.” Karen Blackett CBE on the recipe for successful leadership. #CIPRConf25

The CIPR’s Independent Practitioner Network lead an open and honest discussion about the joys - and challenges - of becoming independent. #CIPRConf25

From comms pro to CEO. Our Panel discussion with CEO’s that have made the move to the top from PR on what transferable skills comms pros can bring to the C-suite. #CIPRConf25

“We feel like we're passengers in terms of what our brain can do, we're stuck with the brain we've got. But we can absolutely change our brains according to how we choose to spend our time.” Neuroscientist, Dr Jack Lewis, on understanding our brains’s decision making processes. #CIPRConf25

“Don't assume that because team members are silent, it means that they are happy. Be the leader that steps into your confidence, your vulnerability, and open up and allow your team to have these conversations.” Mindset coach, Kira Matthews, on confidence being a superpower. #CIPRConf25

“79% of employees do not trust that the change initiatives that organisations are being asked to do will work.” Naomi Goodman, head off change and employee engagement at MHP Group, on how PR pros can confidently step into the role of change leaders. #CIPRConf25

“1 in 3 would rather clean a toilet than ask a silly question at work. Juniors find it hard to ask silly questions in the office so they just stay silent.” Josephine Hanson on the need for traditional management approaches to evolve if we want to build effective multi-generation teams. #CIPRConf25

“Strong modern leadership is about candid communication, direct communication, saying exactly what you mean, but also matching it with huge empathy.” James Peach, Global Brand Director at Vinted, explores the essence of modern leadership through the lens of his diverse career. #CIPRConf25
