Time to Shine
This workshop explores the things you need to consider when starting work that will ensure you make a favourable impression with your colleagues and
are remembered for the right reasons.
We will discuss the obvious behaviours but also the blind spots - those things that no-one actually tells you about until you cross the line and are
noticed for the wrong reasons.
Sometimes, we know what is appropriate, but we don't always act in that way in reality.
You will leave the workshop knowing how to shine - it will be up to you to put it into practice.
This workshop is open to anyone and will count towards the Lancaster Award

Teach First Leadership Development Programme (LDP)
Come along to learn about how the Teach First Leadership Development Programme (LDP) will equip you with the skills and confidence to become a
leader. And, at the same time, help us end educational inequality in the UK, where the link between how well you do at school and how much your
family earns is stronger than almost anywhere in the developed world.
Our employer presentation is your chance to find out about our world-class LDP, a two-year graduate opportunity combining global best practice in
leadership development and teacher training. Join us to hear first-hand what it is like to do the LDP, and learn more about our opportunities for
undergraduates, too.
More than 10,000 people have joined the LDP so far. Many have remained in the classroom and many others are working in leadership roles across all
sectors of the economy. What they all have in common is a belief that every child should have equal opportunities in education and in life, and the
knowledge they are contributing towards this goal.
Drinks and nibbles will be available afterwards, with the opportunity to speak to members of our graduate recruitment team and to individuals who
have already completed the LDP.
Places are limited, so sign up now. If you have any questions about this event please contact James Ghafoor on [email protected]
