Join the two-part Leadership Masterclass – 18 and 25 November 2025.

The North East and Yorkshire Leadership Academy (NEYLA) is excited to launch a new two part masterclass with Dr Julian Stodd researcher, writer, artist, explorer and author of The Social Leadership Handbook.

Many of us are currently leading and/or navigating unprecedented change in the NHS. Join Julian for a two-part interactive masterclass exploring how effective leadership happens at the intersection of systems, technology, and social movements.

What you’ll gain:

• Fresh perspectives on distributed healthcare models and their leadership challenges
• Practical tools for building connection and belonging within your teams
• Strategies for leading change as a social movement, not just a process
• Enhanced skills for navigating uncertainty with curiosity rather than rigid planning

Why this matters now

As the NHS transforms through new technologies and new models of care, traditional leadership approaches aren’t enough. This research-based programme will help you develop ‘Social Leadership’ skills essential for today’s complex healthcare environment.

Interactive format

• Two connected sessions with peer learning opportunities and work in pairs, small groups and plenary discussions
• Collaborative exploration rather than lecture-style delivery
• Space for uncertainty and discovery alongside structured learning
