  Leading through Grief, Loss and Change

  Leadership during grief and change isn’t optional. Grief awareness and confidence is a core leadership skill that ensures teams are fully supported, engaged, and high-performing.

  Overview:

  Loss is universal, yet often unspoken, and even concealed, at work. Grief – from bereavement, divorce, or chronic illness – cannot be left at home, but comes to work within all of us. Nor can workplace losses such as restructuring, changing roles, failed projects, or the departure of valued colleagues.

  The personal and financial costs of neglecting grief are high: from great people leaving their roles forever to presenteeism. In complete contrast, the benefits of an informed, compassionate and pragmatic response to loss can be tremendous, creating the conditions where leaders and employees can engage fully and contribute at their very best.

  This session answers a question most organisations avoid: how do we lead well when people are grieving, navigating loss, or facing change and transition?

  Session Outline:

  1. Understanding Grief:

  New definitions and fundamentals. Recognising different types of grief beyond bereavement, the cumulative impact of unresolved loss, and how grief impacts employees.

  Brief pause for reflection

  2. Grief Support at Work - The Cost and the Opportunity:

  The business case for excellent grief support. The physiological impact of grief at work. How grief impacts productivity, morale, and retention.

  3. Practical Strategies: Supporting Yourself and Others at Work

  ● Updating our grief toolkit: Uncovering some of the common myths and outdated habits that shape how we respond to grief, and replacing them with more effective, compassionate and practical approaches.Clear guidance on language and understanding to support colleagues effectively. Develop confidence in asking the right questions and how to respond.

  ● What to say and what not to say: Clear guidance on language and understanding to support colleagues effectively. Develop confidence in asking the right questions and how to respond.

  ● Creating a supportive culture through leadership: Practical ways leaders foster empathy, trust, and agility. How to maintain appropriate boundaries while supporting yourself and others through periods of loss or transition.

  Attendees will not only better understand the impact of unresolved grief on themselves and  others. They will leave confident and equipped to lead through it, influence others positively and create a culture where grief and change are acknowledged and well managed.

  IMA Training Day 2026 with Diana Brandl

  Own your Impact

  One Day. New Insights. Lasting Impact.

  The role of the Executive Assistant is evolving faster than ever. Strategic thinking, personal branding, AI, stakeholder management and influencing without authority have become essential skills for today's professionals.

  That is why IMA Netherlands is proud to present our annual flagship learning event: the IMA National Training Day 2026, featuring internationally renowned speaker, trainer and thought leader Diana Brandl.

  During this highly interactive training day, Diana will guide you through a powerful journey of self-discovery, strategic thinking and professional positioning.

  Meet Diana Brandl

  
  

  Diana Brandl is one of the most influential voices in the global administrative profession. As a keynote speaker, trainer, consultant, author and advocate for the future of Executive Support. She has inspired thousands of assistants around the world.

  Known for her energetic style, forward-thinking approach and deep expertise in leadership, AI, personal branding and career development, Diana helps assistants unlock their full potential and increase their strategic impact within their organizations.

  More about Diana
  

  Discover your strengths

  The day begins with an exploration of positive psychology and the impact that understanding your strengths can have on both your performance and job satisfaction.

  You will learn how to identify and leverage your natural talents, reflect on the skills needed for the future of the profession and gain a deeper understanding of how your unique strengths contribute to your success. Through guided exercises and peer-to-peer conversations, you will discover what energizes you, where you add the most value and how you can continue to grow with confidence.

  Think more strategically

  In the afternoon, you will be introduced to practical strategic frameworks used by organizations worldwide.

  Using the Business Model Canvas as a hands-on tool, you will explore your own value proposition, identify opportunities to increase your impact and learn how to align your work more effectively with organizational goals. This session challenges you to think beyond tasks and responsibilities and focus on the strategic value you bring to your executive, team and organization.

  Build your Professional Impact Statement

  One of the most valuable skills for modern assistants is the ability to clearly articulate who you are, what you contribute and why your role matters.

  Think about introducing yourself to a new executive, explaining your role during a cross-functional project, building credibility with senior stakeholders, speaking at an industry event, contributing to strategic discussions or simply helping others understand the value you bring to your organization.

  During the final session, you will learn how to develop a compelling personal brand and create a Professional Impact Statement that communicates your value with confidence and authenticity. You will explore how storytelling, visibility and professional positioning can elevate your career and strengthen your influence.

  A compelling value proposition is not just a communication tool; it is a powerful catalyst for professional growth and increased visibility within your organization. An effective elevator pitch is also a powerful career development tool.

  More than a training

  Beyond the learning experience itself, this day offers valuable opportunities to connect with fellow assistants, exchange ideas, share best practices and build meaningful professional relationships.

  You will leave with practical tools, fresh perspectives, greater self-awareness and renewed confidence in your role as a modern business support professional.

  This is a training day designed not only to develop your skills but to help you unlock your full professional potential.
