Meet your compulsory ACCA CPD
Dear ACCA Member,
Many of you will already know me from our time together at FME, AMA or, more recently, on the MAQ platform. It has been a privilege to work with so many talented professionals over the years, and a number of the members reading this will be former students of mine. If that is you, I would love to see you again.
I am writing to share something I am genuinely excited about: the launch of the Applied Leadership Programme, a six-part workshop series that addresses the real leadership challenges senior professionals face every day. Each session is practical, peer-driven and directly applicable to your organisation. And, crucially for your ACCA obligations, each workshop comes with a verifiable CPD certificate.

A verifiable CPD certificate is issued after each session.

What This Session Is About
Great leadership in uncertainty is not about having all the answers. It is about creating the conditions for your team to move forward, even when the path is not yet clear. This workshop gives you practical tools to do exactly that.
You will leave with:
- A personal framework for leading others through uncertainty
- A clear understanding of the four leadership anchors your team needs right now
- One specific, committed action to take back into your organisation
- Peer insight and accountability from a small, focused group
- Your Take-Away Tool: The Change Leadership Compass (a one-page self-assessment)

Your Take-Away: The Change Leadership Compass
Every participant leaves with a one-page self-assessment built around the four anchors teams need from their leaders during periods of uncertainty:
- Direction — clarity of purpose reduces anxiety, even before the full route is known
- Transparency — honest, timely communication builds trust when it matters most
- Stability — your composure and consistency are a resource for your team
- Momentum — your role is to keep the team moving, one step at a time
THE FULL APPLIED LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME
(6 WORKSHOPS)
The Applied Leadership Programme has been built entirely from what participants asked for. These are the topics identified by leaders themselves as the challenges they are navigating right now:
- Workshop 1: Leading Through Change and Uncertainty (1st July)
- Workshop 2: Operational vs. Strategic Leadership
- Workshop 3: Building High-Performance Teams
- Workshop 4: Difficult Conversations and Constructive Conflict
- Workshop 5: Influence Without Authority
- Workshop 6: Sustaining Performance and Avoiding Burnout
Each workshop is two hours. Each earns 2 verifiable CPD points. Attending all six delivers 12 CPD points in total — a substantial and efficient way to meet your annual ACCA requirement.
Why This Programme Is Different
This is not a lecture series. Every session is built around:
- Small group application — you work through your own real challenges, not hypotheticals
- Mastermind peer exchange — experienced professionals offering each other genuine insight
- Personal action planning — you leave with a specific commitment, not just ideas
- Actionable frameworks — practical tools you can use the following Monday
