Calling out behaviour that falls below the expected standards is one of the HARDEST things for a councillor to do. Particularly when that conversation needs to be had with another councillor and the behaviour has been justified as part of the political nature of the role. The mental worry that comes with this scenario can seriously corrode a councillor's wellbeing and is certainly something that keeps people up at night! How do you take ethical action in a courageous and kind way? Join Nicole Turnbull at our upcoming Political Wellbeing Summit where she will be sharing her insights into this topic. Nicole is a courageous leader and trailblazer, with a passion is creating safe, courageous, and thriving workplaces. She also ran as a candidate in the 2024 local government elections and was successfully elected to MidCoast Council. As Chief Courage Officer of her business, Neon Shed, Nicole brings light to the dark sides of work. As Nicole says: "Disrespect is a difficult thing to raise because there's a lot of grey area, and it's hard to know how to call out behavior without being disrespectful and without being confrontational" Join us 26-28 February 2025 for this trailblazing conversation. https://lnkd.in/gnhwg4z9 #LeadershipSummit #PoliticalWellbeing #Courage #EthicalAction #CourageousLeaders #LocalGov #LocalGovernment #Electedleaders #politicalwellbeingsummit2025
