Lead like Jazz

Monday 17th November 2025, 5.15pm

Wycliffe Hall invites you to an evening of jazz music, collaboration and discussion on how we can be better leaders. With Scott Olsen (Lead like Jazz) and Justyn Terry (5 Phases of Leadership) in discussion and session, this evening will be packed with thought-provoking advice, as well as laid back jazz numbers.

About the event

This event is for everyone working in a position of leadership, or looking to enjoy an evening of Jazz. All are welcome! 

Wycliffe Hall has set itself the modest task of fostering a New Renaissance of Christian scholarship, leadership and culture. As a key component of this vision, an innovative new project starting in autumn 2025 will help us to equip the Church to engage intelligently, creatively, winsomely, humbly with our society again, and to offer it a better song to sing. We will provide a unique formation experience to cultivate theological depth, artistic excellence, and multi-dimensional diversity in congregational music- and worship-leaders.
