Celebrity entrepreneur meets purpose-driven CEO. In this lively session, Jamie Laing (Candy Kittens) and Paul Devoy (Investors in People) get real about leadership, resilience and the power of backing your people.
“Great people build great businesses.” Jamie Laing

Why this resonated:
💡Self-aware leadership: How owning your weaknesses and hiring around them, unlocks team performance.
💡North Star + small wins: The mindset shift from moonshots to measurable momentum (and why turning up beats showing off).
💡Trust over time cards: The culture moves - autonomy, radical conversations, transparent goals - that raise the bar.
💡Imposter syndrome, reframed: Turning “I shouldn’t be here” into fuel for growth (and a nudge to keep showing up).
💡Performance that’s human: Clear, transparent KPIs over clock-watching, so feedback is timely, specific, and focused on outcomes.

Only 18% of non-managers see becoming a manager as aspirational.
That stat should stop us in our tracks. If fewer people want to step into leadership, how will organisations grow, innovate and sustain success?

Our whitepaper, The Broken Ladder, explores why management is losing its appeal; and what needs to change to make leadership sustainable, inspiring and effective again. It’s packed with research (in partnership with YouGov), insights and practical actions you can use to strengthen the leadership pipeline in your organisation.

Voted the most enjoyed session by Make Work Better Conference attendees. In this session, ‘Keep Your Head’, psychologist Kimberley Wilson breaks down the psychology of stress at work, and why simple, accessible choices can boost resilience fast. “Your next food choice, your next snack or your next meal, can actually help improve your stress resiliency.” Kimberley Wilson.

Key highlights:
- Brains hate uncertainty: Novelty and threat trigger the same systems, spiking cortisol and draining focus.
- Managers = wellbeing frontline: Sandwiched between top-down demands and bottom-up expectations - plus rising emotional labour.
- Make resilience practical: Discover the everyday habits that help keep your brain performing under pressure.
- Nourish to cope: How what you eat could play a surprising role in managing stress.
- Fix the system: The organisational shifts that can ease the burden on managers and their teams.

When leadership fails, it’s rarely because of character flaws. Managers often struggle because the system around them wasn’t built to support them. Unclear roles, siloed structures, and unrealistic expectations are all signs it’s a design problem; not a people problem.
