We find ourselves already in October, and no doubt you also find yourselves busy with perhaps a new academic year which is now hitting its strides, or, particularly in the southern hemisphere, hurtling towards the end of the year and summer holidays (or intakes of students!). Whatever you face at work, we are delighted to bring you some ideas which might give you a boost this month.
Online Carnival: ‘Leading Through Difficult Situations’
We’re delighted to invite you to this year’s LAMSIG Online Carnival, ‘Leading Through Difficult Situations’, taking place on Friday, 23 October from 10.00 – 16.30 (UK time).
The ability to lead is truly tested in times of crisis and change, and this year’s Carnival is all about the real-world pressures ELT leaders face. We’ve brought together an excellent group of speakers and experienced leaders to share practical strategies, ideas, and stories to help us navigate difficult situations and support our teams.
The programme includes keynote talks, workshops, networking discussion forums, a panel discussion, and leadership stories, and hot tips. There will be plenty of opportunities to reflect on our own leadership challenges, exchange ideas with colleagues from around the world, and take away practical approaches that you can use in your own context.
Whether you’re currently leading a team, are an experienced manager, or are thinking about taking your first steps into leadership, there should be something here for you.
The day is free for LAMSIG members, with a small charge for non-members, so feel free to spread the word and invite your colleagues to register too. We hope you’ll join us for all or part of the day (whatever works for you and your time zone) for what promises to be a stimulating and very practical day of learning, reflection and connection.

One of the best things about our LAMSIG community is the wealth of experience and ideas that members have to share. Have you found something that works, tried a new approach, had a leadership experience worth sharing, or undertaken research that could help other leaders? We’d love to hear from you for our newsletter or blog.
We’re also keen to hear your reading recommendations – books or articles you’ve found particularly useful, with a few words about why.
And don’t worry if writing isn’t your strength! Our team of volunteers can help you shape and polish your ideas. We’re interested in your experience and ideas, not perfect prose!
So, if you have something to share, get in touch with the LAMSIG Publications team at [email protected]. We’d love to help you share your experience with the wider LAMSIG community.
