Welcome and introduction

AAT President John Thornton will open the day with a message about where AAT is as an organisation and how we can best support you at the present time.


Embracing change in uncertain times

Key learnings include:

  • developing the mindset essential to confidently face and embrace change, 
  • how to take advantage of the powerful interplay between order and chaos,
  • why the desire to feel in control and look good can inhibit valuable growth,
  • recognising and navigating the 4 stages of the ongoing Cycle of Change. 

Survive and thrive: Improve and protect your financial position

“It’s only when the tide goes out that you learn who’s been swimming naked.” It’s easy for businesses to look sound and successful when the economy is booming.
