Gain actionable strategies for staying composed under pressure and guiding teams with purpose, presence, and resilience. This webinar explores how leaders can: • Reclaim and direct their attention under pressure • Engage with, rather than avoid, emotional realities • Stay grounded and composed in complex environments • Lead teams with clarity, purpose, and resilience 🗓 Tuesday, 7 April 2026 ⏰ 1:00 PM CET | 3:00 PM UAE | 7:00 PM SGT 📍 Online Webinar, free and open to all Register: https://lnkd.in/gKg8jujt Zeina Sleiman Orlane Mielcarek Maureen Lee Marie-Angélique Picard William Walsh

🌍 If global cooperation is breaking down… what happens to impact? As geopolitics shift and funding models evolve, impact entrepreneurship is being forced to rethink how it operates, scales, and collaborates. Join us for the virtual pre-session of the INSEAD Impact Entrepreneurship Forum 2026: “Future-fit Impact in the Post-Multilateral Era.” This virtual gathering brings together leaders across sectors to explore how impact can adapt in a world of fragmentation, from new governance and financing models to more agile, localised forms of cooperation. 🔎 We’ll explore: • How collective problem-solving is evolving beyond traditional multilateral frameworks • What tools leaders need for anticipatory action in uncertain environments • Why strategy today is less planning, more search, with insights from Andrew Shipilov 🎙️ Featuring Katell Le Goulven, PhD, Artak Robert Melkonyan, Sophia Otoo, and Dr. Vinika Devasar Rao 📅 Tuesday, 24 March 2026 ⏰ 2:00–3:00 PM CET 💻 Online | Open to all If you’re thinking seriously about the future of impact, strategy, and global cooperation, this is a conversation to be in. 🔗Register: https://lnkd.in/ewdYsgZR Find out more about the FORUM: https://lnkd.in/eJNmGbqS

🤝 Negotiating for Impact: Human Dynamics from the Front Lines What determines whether negotiations succeed when trust is fragile, stakes are high, and no one holds formal authority? Professor Horacio Falcao joins Erik Weytjens as he shares first-hand lessons from pivotal negotiations across his career. From transforming labour relations through trust-based leadership to aligning 30 competing companies within a complex port ecosystem, his experiences reveal how human dynamics often matter more than formal power. Get 10 practical insights on how leaders can navigate complex negotiations and build durable agreements. The session will explore: • How trust is built when interests collide • Managing multi-party negotiations with competing agendas • Why the real work of negotiation often begins after the agreement 🗓 17 March 2026 ⏰ 12:00 PM CET | 3:00 PM ABD | 7:00 PM SGT 📍 Online Webinar, free and open to all Register: https://lnkd.in/g_zz_m8Q BoardCompanions Nederland BoardCompanions Belgium Wai Yee Fong

A sustainable disposable lighter…? Really? Few products feel less compatible with circularity than a disposable lighter. And yet, BIC is exactly doing this, not as a branding exercise, but as a strategic move. In Sustainability in Turbulent Times: Circularity and Growth at BIC Lighter, INSEAD Professors Karel Cool and Atalay Atasu sit down with Francois Clement-Grandcourt, General Manager of BIC’s Lighter Division, to unpack how one of the world’s most unlikely products became a case study in strategic reinvention. This is not a feel-good sustainability story. It’s about how circularity can: 🔹 Rewire a value chain that was never built for it 🔹 Reduce dependence on fragile global suppliers 🔹 Create new revenue pools while strengthening strategic autonomy 🔹 Turn regulatory and environmental pressure into competitive advantage If sustainability still feels like a constraint in your organisation, this conversation may change your mind. 📅 26 February 2026 ⏰ 6:00 pm CET | 12:00 pm ET | 9:00 am PST ⏱️ 60 minutes This session is free and open to all.

How does your workspace impact your creativity? Find out more today in our session with Professor Manuel Sosa and Rory Brett as he shares research and data based findings on how you can increase creativity.

🤝 Negotiation: The Game Has Changed While classic negotiation principles still matter, they now need to be applied very differently. The past few years have rewritten the rules of negotiation. COVID-19, remote work, political polarisation, global supply chains and increasing workplace diversity have transformed who negotiates, how negotiations happen, and what it takes to reach agreement. Renown author Professor Max Bazerman shares with Horacio Falcao how to negotiate successfully in today’s realities, from cross-cultural and politically charged discussions to virtual negotiations on Zoom and crisis-driven supply-chain conversations. 🗓 10 February 2026 ⏰ 9:00pm SGT | 5:00pm UAE | 2:00pm CET | 8:00am EST   📍 Online webinar free and open to all Register: https://lnkd.in/gz4tp2YC A timely session for executives, deal-makers and leaders negotiating in a more complex, connected and uncertain world.
