Four (and soon five) generations are now working side by side in the workplace. Whilst this poses challenges for teamwork there are also tremendous opportunities for improved productivity. This is only if organisations choose to take them.
In this lunchtime session Alex Atherton, former secondary school headteacher and author of The Snowflake Myth, challenges the myths which can act as barriers to a highly functioning multigenerational workplace.
Drawing on his own research and 25 years on the frontline, he will explore how the 22 year old and the 62 year old can make each other genuinely better, rather than just rubbing along.
Jo Keeler will test his thinking, connect it to the findings in Belbin's The Future of Teamwork 2027 and then open the floor to your questions. Bring a sandwich and an open mind and leave with ideas you can use on Monday.
Alex Atherton is an award-winning speaker, author, experienced educator and leadership coach. He is the ex-secondary school headteacher who heard the word ‘snowflake’ once too often to describe his former students. His book, The Snowflake Myth: Explaining Gen Z in the workplace and beyond, was published in 2025.
He spent over a decade immersed in the mindset of this misunderstood generation, getting to the core of what makes them tick.
Alex blends his experiences, research and a hefty dose of reality to shatter the myths around Gen Z. He equips leaders and managers with proven strategies to overcome generational divides and effectively recruit, develop and retain top young talent.
What an Arctic expedition can teach us about self-awareness, trust, teamwork and resilience under pressure.
When two adventurers set out to transverse 600km across Svalbard, they prepared for extreme cold, isolation, glaciers and polar bears.
But their greatest challenge wasn't the environment.
It was learning how to work effectively together under pressure.
Join us for this fascinating webinar exploring how self-awareness, trust and mutual understanding helped transform two individuals into a resilient, high-performing team.
Through this remarkable real-life case study, we'll examine what organisations can learn from one of the world's most demanding environments and why resilience depends on more than determination alone. From honest conversations and clear expectations to understanding individual strengths and differences, we'll explore the foundations that enable people and teams to adapt, recover and perform when challenges arise.
Most importantly, you'll hear directly from the expedition team themselves.
Joining us will be Aslak, whose varied experiences range from military service as an army sergeant to solo travel adventures across Eastern Europe and South America, including hitchhiking aboard a sailing boat across the Atlantic and Håkon, who is educated as a teacher and works as a nature guide in Svalbard. Together they will share candid reflections on the realities of working together in one of the most challenging environments on earth.
The discussion will also feature George Hayter, Learning & Development Facilitator at GRA, who will help draw out the lessons for leaders and teams, translating expedition experiences into practical workplace insights.
Hosted by Jo Keeler, this session offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from those who lived the experience and explore what Svalbard can teach us about building resilient teams.
Because resilience isn't built in the storm. It's built in the preparation.
Join us for an engaging discussion and gain an early insight into Belbin and Resilience.

During this webinar, we talk about the causes and signs of burnout, how to spot them within patterns of observable behaviour at work, and preventing burnout in teams using the Belbin methodology and reports.
Not all working relationships are equal - some flow effortlessly, while others can be challenging. While tools and checklists can help, this Masterclass goes deeper.
We were invited to present a Masterclass for the Institute of Leadership to demonstrate how Belbin helps organisations to build stronger, more effective teams by focusing on team dynamics and how people work together.
Belbin is taught and used by organisations worldwide. Why?
It is a practical tool for self-development and building high-performing teams. It is based on a decade of research, studying teams to understand why the succeed or fail. And we've been refining and updating it ever since.
Once you have agreed the team objective, and you all know what it is you need to achieve, the next step is to allocate the right work to the right people.
We know that a successful team needs access to all nine Belbin Team Roles, but which of these behaviours does each team member have as a strength? Where can you best use them? Where are their weaknesses? What other talents might they be able to develop for the good of the team?

Join us to discover how productivity and engagement have fared as our relationship to our working practices evolve.
And we’ll present our findings on the broader implications for teams, including onboarding and organisational culture.
When teams are under pressure, pack mentality prevails. When collective anxiety becomes intolerable, teams try to counter it with dysfunctional coping mechanisms.
These strategies might offer short-term relief, but they ultimately sabotage group dynamics and performance.
So what happens when this damaging behaviour flies under the radar? How do we identify and address self-sabotage in our teams?
We know that meetings are an essential communication tool in projects and teamwork.
Meetings keep us informed about progress and enable us to make better decisions. So how can we use Belbin to make meetings better?
