The Executive Suite provides a range of opportunities for senior leaders to both access support and development for themselves and to aid them in also supporting the development of their staff into the future.
They are designed to support you to remain a resilient leader, continue to thrive in your role, and set cultures that value the importance of health and wellbeing.
Who are these offers for?
We have a range of individual or group support options, webinars and resources for you. We know that executives are very busy people with limited time and that you need a lot of flexibility. We have designed these offers with that in mind so that you can access the support you need, and choose the option that suits you best.
The offers are open to all executive leaders across health and care in England. Where the offer is for a specific group of leaders only (e.g. chairs or chief executives), it is clearly advertised. Some pages will require you register to access their contents.
Leadership Stories and Reflections
A collection of short videos from your peers and colleagues reflecting on the importance of looking after your own wellbeing and how to spot where you might need some support. Watch more videos in our Leadership Viewpoints collection.
A few weeks ago, we marked one year anniversary of the first national lockdown. Many of us have reflected on the last year and the experiences we have been through. For senior leaders in particular, reflection and recognition of the journey travelled, both for themselves but also for their teams and colleagues, is often really important.
We’ve spoken to 4 NHS chief executives who reflect on the very start of the pandemic in this short video.
Crishni reflects on the importance of staff wellbeing being seen as part of inclusive and compassionate culture and a top priority for all leaders. “We have to try and make people feel safe to say that they’re not ok.”
She stresses that senior leaders need to role model looking after their own wellbeing and recognising own vulnerabilities. (And that cake is always good!)
