Our Webinars
Leadership Through Data’s Webinars are not the traditional style, we use polls to help you get involved which will enhance the amount of information you retain. There are limited slide decks so, it’s just the host/trainer and participants. We encourage you to talk to us via chat box, and are known to play games and give out prizes too! Each session lasts roughly one hour, and every webinar is free to attend.
Please note: We record our webinars via Microsoft 365 Teams and are not able to guarantee your anonymity. If you do not agree to being recorded, but you still want to access the webinar, please continue to register for the webinar and we will email you a link to watch on-demand one week after the live recording date.

Customer Comments
The idea of conducting polls throughout was great; really useful to benchmark against other public sector organisation and feel less ‘alone’ in the challenges faced. The content was also pragmatically framed, which I appreciate rather than just promoting pure best practice – the course leader recognized that no one is getting RM 100% right and every place has its own challenges.
It was really good to get an overview of what is happening in other organizations and see where we sit in comparison to others. The general discussion prompted lot of thoughts for me and has really got me thinking. I found the trainers style to be very engaging. I felt this showed enthusiasm for the topic. There is nothing worse than an unenthusiastic trainer! The trainer held my attention well despite the course being online; I found myself nodding along with then throughout.
