About this Event

Welcome to the Compassionate Businesses Network - September event! Join us at the Innovation Centre, Knowledge Gateway on November 26, 2025 at 8:30 AM.

This is a unique opportunity for you to be part of a business collaborative for leaders who see compassion as a business advantage, not just a soft skill.

Our Inspirational speaker for this event James Cracknell from The Weave - a MSc System Practitioner and Chief Reinvention Officer.

As a systems thinker and entrepreneur-in-residence at the University of Essex, James combines creativity, innovation, and business insight to help founders protect their energy, strengthen teams, and grow sustainably.

James will be talking about the value of Sophrology and how this practice builds personal resiliance and enhances decision making skills and emotional intelligence for leadership roles, essential for effectively guiding teams and businesses.

He is also the visionary behind FounderThrive a founder support app shaped by his lived experience of burnout, decades in high stakes finance and deep mentoring insight. His journey inspired a holistic approach that empowers transformation from business burnout to sustainable success!
