Hezza -

Welcome to the Common Purpose Exploring Leadership Masterclass in Birmingham today.

Today is all about exploring leadership - discussing challenges, sharing advice and learning from others. Throughout the day, we'll be asking our speakers and attendees four basic questions:

1) What are you most inspired by right now?
2) What's the best piece of leadership advice you've ever received?
3) Why is it key to connect with other leaders?
4) Why should we be led by you?

Join in and share your own answers either on the blog or via Twitter conversation with @CommonPurpose. By the end of the day, we hope to have compiled a terrific resource of advice, thought provoking discussions and a bit of inspiration.

Common Purpose Team - What are you most inspired by right now?

"The Recession. It's the biggest opportunity we've had in 20 years to change and re-develop everything (industries, communication, education). People have hidden behind growth because it was easy."

"Different leadership backgrounds and diversity"

"We can use business for social change. We're moving away from grants and handouts and finding ways to solve things creatively."

"Holidays. Taking time away."
