Inner Development Goals Bristol and South West

Description

Meaningful collaboration requires more than a shared goal

It takes trust. Strong relationships. Honest communication. And a willingness to bring different people, perspectives and resources together.

Building Trust and Working Together brings business leaders, founders, academics and changemakers together for a practical and thought-provoking morning at UWE Bristol.

Through lightning talks, interactive learning, live conversation and purposeful connection, we’ll explore the human skills that make collaboration work—and what becomes possible when industry, entrepreneurship and academia work together.

None of us can create meaningful change alone!

Bringing the inner development goals to life

The Inner Development Goals are a globally recognised framework identifying the human skills and qualities needed to create meaningful, sustainable change.

One of its five dimensions is Collaborating: Building Trust and Working Together.

This includes our ability to:

• Build trust and meaningful relationships
• Communicate effectively
• Create inclusive environments
• Mobilise people around shared goals
• Co-create across teams, organisations and sectors

These aren’t abstract ideas. They influence how effectively we lead, develop partnerships, communicate and turn shared ambition into action.

This event will bring those skills to life through practical learning, real examples and conversations grounded in the realities of leadership, business and collaboration.
