Leadership Masterclass with Megan Reitz

Join our upcoming Leadership Masterclass with Professor Megan Reitz, whose groundbreaking work on Speaking Truth to Power, conversations that matter, and Speak Out, Listen Up continues to influence leaders across sectors.

As Scotland’s senior leaders in social work, social care and health, you routinely navigate complexity, pressure and the challenge of creating cultures where people feel genuinely heard.

This session offers a rare opportunity to pause, connect with peers, and explore the conversational habits that shape our leadership impact—often in ways we don’t see.

Megan’s research exposes why psychological safety efforts can fall short, and how everyday choices about when we speak and how we listen can transform relationships, performance and organisational culture. We’d love you to join us for this reflective and practical masterclass.

Professor Megan Reitz, MA (Cantab), MSc, MRes, PhD

Role:: Associate Fellow at Saïd Business School, Oxford University and Professor of Leadership and Dialogue at Hult International Business School

Megan is Associate Fellow at Saïd Business School, Oxford University and Professor of Leadership and Dialogue at Hult International Business School. She focuses on how we create the conditions for transformative dialogue at work and her research is at the intersection of leadership, change, dialogue and mindfulness. She is on the Thinkers50 ranking of global business thinkers and is ranked in HR Magazine’s Most Influential Thinkers listing.

Megan has written Dialogue in Organizations and Mind Time and, most recently, Speak Out, Listen Up which is the second edition of her bestselling book Speak Up, with Financial Times Publishing. Speak Up was shortlisted for the CMI Management Book of the Year 2020.

Her latest research focuses on ‘spaciousness’; how, whilst attending to the task, we can also create, hold and value the space to innovate, reflect, learn and develop relationships, in workplaces that are increasingly experienced as instrumental and addicted to busyness.

She is mother to two wonderful teenage daughters who test her regularly on her powers of mindfulness and dialogue.
