 UPCOMING SESSION:  The Power of Creative Conflict
with Mark Clark MBE, conflict and peacebuilding specialist

🗓️ Tuesday 25 November 25, 11:30–12:30 (UK)
💻 Via Zoom

Every leadership team faces conflict. Few develop the capacity to work with it.

In complexity, conflict isn’t failure, it’s feedback. It shows where difference lies, and where learning and innovation can emerge.

Join RISE Beyond and Mark Clarke for a 60-minute exploration of what it takes to move from conflict avoidance to conflict transformation, and how your team can turn difference into a source of collective intelligence.

See your team’s hidden operating system

the unseen patterns that drive performance, trust, and cohesion.

Access fresh perspectives

from leading thinkers in leadership, conflict, and complexity.

Build practical insight

to help your team respond to change with greater awareness, agility, and adaptability.

The demands of pace, performance, and transformation are stretching leadership beyond the limits of expertise or delivery.

Disruption is an everyday reality. The demands of VUCA, BANI and relentless pace require capacities beyond technical expertise or delivery. 

At  RISE Beyond , we’ve spent a decade helping leaders and teams strengthen those very capacities. Through  The Collective Edge , we create space to explore what really drives team performance, the dynamics beneath the surface: trust, presence, power, emotion, conflict, and belonging.

Calls are hosted by the RISE Beyond team in collaboration with expert guest speakers who bring deep experience in leadership and complexity.

Future Calls in the series

Power & Authority
Madelanne Rust-d'Eye and experts on organisational power

🗓️ January 2026
💻 Via Zoom

Every leadership team has a visible hierarchy of roles, and a hidden hierarchy of voice and influence.

When those layers fall out of sync, decisions stall, trust erodes, and the loudest voices shape the work.

A 60-minute exploration of how teams can recognise and rebalance power dynamics to create more accountable, agile leadership.

Trust: The infrastructure of performance
with Jemma Barton

🗓️ March 2026
💻 Via Zoom

If your team can’t surface hard truths, hold difficult conversations or sit in difference together, you don’t have a trust problem; you have a capacity gap.

A 60-minute exploration of how leadership teams can create conditions where vulnerability becomes fuel, not fallout.

On Presence
with Madelanne Rust-d'Eye

🗓️ May 2026
💻 Via Zoom

Presence is the foundation of every good decision.

Amid complexity and constant change, leaders are pulled outward by noise, urgency and emotion. Cultivating presence is about building the capacity to stay anchored, attentive and adaptive.

A 60-minute exploration of how leaders can develop a steadier centre of gravity.

Five Generations at Work
Jemma Barton with experts on cross-generational workspaces

🗓️ July 2026
💻 Via Zoom

Today’s executive rooms often span Gen X, Y, Millennials, Gen Z and soon more. That brings capability and challenge in equal measure. Generational differences show up in communication style, technology assumptions, feedback expectations, risk appetites and identity orientation. Many teams treat these as irritants, or worse, avoid them. But what if those generational differences were purposefully used as a strategic asset? 

"Changed how I relate at work and at home

It showed me the value of vulnerability in building trust with colleagues and teams. I’ve been a bit of a closed book before, but sharing helped build bonds"

Exec Team

RISE makes light work of complex leadership models so that it lands well.”

CEO
Hospitality Sector

"RISE questions until we find the root cause of certain behaviour.

Exec Team
Corinthia London

"I left with clearer thinking and importantly, a renewed energy to act

RISE created a space that felt real, challenging, and genuinely supportive."

CEO
Bcorp
