This document provides information about an upcoming event called Reconnect 1 on June 12th. It will: 1) Help attendees direct the inspiration and insights from the first half of Connect into purposeful action and application by focusing on the leadership challenges they want help with. 2) Draw on the experience of leaders from various sectors who will provide advice and encouragement. 3) Be held at Shoreditch Studios in London from 8:30am to 8pm and provides information on transportation and nearby hotel accommodations.

1. Extracting The Value
By the end of the first half of Connect you will have had a feast of
stimulus, inspiration, provocation and learning. And most of you will
have made interesting and useful new connections.
This first Reconnect gathering will be all about how to make the
most of this learning and connectivity.
In the run up to the day we will ask you what your leadership issues are,
what’s keeping you awake at night, what do you want help to do?
We will take the most relevant challenges – including a mix of personal
and the organisational, and structure the day around them.
We will provide you with the space and the support to focus in on these
leadership challenges, the stuff you are sitting with ‘right now’.
We will help you draw on the vast wisdom and experience of
the leaders on Connect. We have also drawn on the Wavelength
ecosystem and invited friends, Connect alumni and leaders to provide
no nonsense advice, support, push-back and encouragement. These
leaders draw from an ocean of leadership experience across private,
public and social enterprise sectors and on issues related to people,
culture, change, purpose, values, innovation and more.
You know that we don’t do purposeless inspiration. So, June 12th
is all about helping you direct the inspiration and insights into
purposeful action and application.

2. Belinda Budge
One of publishing’s
leading lights, until
November 2012 Belinda
was HarperCollins Group
Publisher responsible
for six trade divisions
and one of four UK board
members. In response to the existential threat
to her industry of digital and self publishing,
Belinda invented HarperCreative, which focussed
on putting innovation at the heart of the business
by re-imagining the relationships between writer,
publisher, retailer and audience.
Few industries have seen such sweeping changes in
such a short period of time as publishing. Belinda’s
leadership role in the eye of such creative destruction
taught her many lessons about managing change and
driving innovation.
Steve McGuirk,
CBE
County Fire
Officer & Chief
Executive
Steve has been a fire fighter
since 1976 and he took
over the running of Greater
Manchester Fire and Rescue Service in 2009. There
are few more high profile and demanding roles in
public service leadership than this. Saving lives and
property, being caught between police and rioters, the
fire service is on the frontline every day. Leading in
such life and death circumstances at the best of times
is a huge challenge. Doing so AND having to deal
with massive funding cuts and shifting government
priorities makes for one of the most demanding
leadership roles in Britain today.
Highly decorated for long service and bravery, Steve –
one of Connect’s alumni – is a straight talking, battle
hardened leader with a wicked sense of humour. You’ll
love him.
Gaynor Coley
Chief Executive
Enterprise The
Eden Project
Gay – a Wavelength host
and alumni – has been in
leadership of one of the
UK’s best known social
enterprises since 1997. Her accountancy and financial
acumen have helped create a robust business
which has welcomed many millions of visitors and
contributed hugely to the regeneration of one of the
poorest parts of Britain.
Eden has become well known throughout the world
and an inspiration to the environmental movement.
But fame and years of success are no guarantee
of avoiding turbulence and Gay, in recent months,
has been having to make very hard choices about
the future of Eden as it comes to terms with how to
position itself in an age of austerity.
Gay is learning the hard way that balancing social
and commercial goals is never easy and some of the
choices are excruciating.

most experienced leaders in
media. He holds the record
as the longest serving Controller of BBC Radio 1 and
was Controller Popular Music, Radio 1Xtra, the Asian
Network, and caretaker Controller of 5 Live.
Andy is widely credited with leading an extraordinarily
successful period of regeneration at Radio 1 – he left
the post in July 2011 with audiences for all his stations
at record levels and the web performance of Radio 1
the biggest, by far, in the sector.
A man with loads of insights into how culture and
business models are shifted in large organisations.
Some great anecdotes too!

what it takes to create world beating cultures. A great
speaker, y’all.

David Smith
Leadership
Coach
David has 34 years
corporate experience of
change management, the
last 15 years of which were
spent turning ASDA around.
As People and IT Director and Executive Board
member for 10 years, David was central to the
remarkable cultural turnaround of ASDA from
near bankruptcy to the commercial success which
continues today in one of the most competitive and
cutthroat sectors of food retailing.
A blunt, straight talking northerner – and much sought
after speaker and coach on leadership, culture and
organisational change – David speaks with all the
authority which comes from having been part of a team
which led 100,000 plus staff in more than 200 locations
to the top of the Sunday Times Best Place To Work list.
Lars KoLind
Lars is one of Scandinavia’s
most successful and best
known entrepreneurs
and business leaders
becoming world-renowned
for his transformation of
Oticon, where he was CEO
from 1988 to 1998. He is, or has been, chairman of
the World Scout Foundation and the Danish multi-
nationals Grundfos and Unimerco. A prolific speaker
and writer, his latest book is Unboss and his thesis is
as straightforward as it is radical. Is the purpose of
business is to make money? No—businesses must
first and foremost be useful. They must become
movements that change the world.
