Performance and mindset for global growth

We're all busy. But are we actually being productive? And at what cost?

The pressure to do more, achieve more and constantly keep up has become part of everyday business life. Endless meetings, overflowing inboxes, competing priorities and the expectation to always be available can leave little time to focus on what really matters.

For businesses operating internationally, those challenges can be even greater, with different time zones, cultures, market pressures and unexpected disruptions adding to the complexity.

How do we maintain energy and motivation when the demands on our time seem to keep increasing? How do we support our people through change and uncertainty? And are we creating workplaces where being busy is valued more than being effective?

As we begin 2027, this Global Brunch takes a fresh look at the people behind business success, exploring the relationship between mindset, resilience, productivity and sustainable growth. Our speakers will bring their perspectives on leading and expanding a business internationally, the importance of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, and the challenges of maintaining business and trade.

What we'll explore:

  • The busy trap: Why does being constantly busy feel like a measure of success and how can we work more effectively?
  • People under pressure: How do we recognise the impact of increasing demands on ourselves and our teams?
  • Mindset and resilience: What helps people stay focused, adaptable and motivated when faced with uncertainty and change?
  • The human side of growth: What happens to people when businesses expand, expectations increase and the pace accelerates?

Why attend?

  • Take a fresh look at how we lead and manage the demands of business life
  • Hear honest experiences from leaders navigating uncertainty and significant challenges
  • Explore ways to build a healthier balance between performance and people
  • Connect with business leaders and professionals from across Greater Birmingham's business community

Join us for an engaging and interactive Global Brunch – a no PowerPoint zone, bringing together practical insights and meaningful conversations.

Priority will be given to members.
