BELGIUM: BritLEAD relaunched as Inspire to Lead, first session coming up
BritLEAD has been rebranded to ‘Inspire to Lead’.
The "Inspire to Lead" programme is a personal and professional development initiative designed for the UK Armed Forces community, including military families and the wider community.
Recognising the challenges faced by military families, such as frequent relocations and career disruptions, the programme aims to bridge gaps in learning and development opportunities, particularly for those living overseas.
Its objectives include fostering a supportive, inclusive environment that promotes self-worth, confidence, and continuous professional growth. The programme offers workshops, training, and networking opportunities to enhance skills, share knowledge, and improve employability, morale, and wellbeing.
Topics to be covered include AI, social media for business development, online safety & security, and neurodiversity, among others, tailored to the unique needs and interests of participants.
Inspire to Lead will be delivered through a combination of in person sessions at SHAPE and some online delivery where it is not possible to bring in external speakers.
