Meet the Author: In conversation with Blaire Palmer  

This month, we’re joined by Blaire Palmer, culture and leadership specialist, and author of Punks in Suits: How to Lead Workplace Reformation.

For over 24 years, Blaire has worked with organisations to drive transformative change and create workplaces where people can truly thrive. Blaire calls on senior leaders to rethink and redefine leadership in the modern era.

This event has now closed for new registrations, however this event is recorded so please do check back in 24 hours if you would like to catch up. 

Punks in Suits is both a call to arms for leaders to embrace curiosity and to question the status quo, and a practical guide offering clarity on the most pertinent workplace challenges of the modern era.

Blaire will share bold, thought-provoking insights from Punks in Suits, including:

About the book

Punks in Suits challenges leaders to take a step back and consider the legacy they are building. When the time comes to retire, will you be able to look back with pride knowing you changed things for the better? Recently featured in the EDGE Book Club, the book has been praised as “a refreshing perspective on 21st-century leadership”.
