Phoenix 2: ‘Achieve the Impossible’ Hybrid Global Leadership Conference with Dr Sam Collins and Guest Speakers – 2 Day In-Person

June 30th & July 1st 2025 ‘Achieve the Impossible’ Hybrid Global Leadership Conference. 

Key Learning Skills: Courage, Communication & Leadership Influence

Great managers, founders, consultants and leaders achieve seemingly impossible things by inspiring others, fostering a culture of trust and innovation, and relentlessly focusing on the “why” behind their goals, rather than just the “what” and “how”. This requires courage, extreme self-care, extraordinary effort, resilience, and the ability to communicate and influence others with brilliance.

We are delighted that Dr Sam Collins, Founder and CEO of Aspire and recognised by her late Majesty, The Queen, as one of ‘The Top 200 Women to Impact Business and Industry’ and by CNN as ‘A Woman Shaping the World’  will be in the UK facilitate this workshop personally. Award-winning leadership expert, speaker, coach and international bestselling author, Dr Collins is a leading global voice on leadership, equality and change for individuals, workplaces, organisational culture and community impact and she has been featured on the BBC, CNN, The Times and many more.

Why attend?

For you: Because you’re ready to learn new leadership skills, achieve your goals and make a bigger impact.
For your organisation: Because authentic leaders who can blend courage, communication and influence create better results.
For the world: Because we need more people who can act on values, think bigger and contribute towards organisational and societal change.

The Aspire mission to inspire and empower women and achieve gender equality.
