So fantastic to see, hear and feel the passion for the P&O profession and service users from the bapo leadership cohort 24/25.
Rolemodelling vulnerability, self reflection, and emotional intelligence against the back drop of P&O, and linking it back to the theme of compassionate and inclusive leadership. Cohort three you smashed the assignment! Thank you to everyone involved for creating a safe, inspiring and supportive space ✨️
