This series of workshops has been developed for aspiring, new and seasoned team leaders, supervisors and managers who are looking for a refresher or wish to add leadership strategies to their toolbox.  These workshops honour busy leaders and have been condensed into bite-size workshops. Our content is designed by master educators and is delivered by industry experts.  Each online workshop is 2-hours in duration and includes follow-up activities to extend the learning beyond each session. Each topic is comprised of 3 workshops, and we invite you to register for one workshop or the entire series.

WORKSHOPS 
Effective Meetings
This workshop is for leaders looking to improve their meeting preparation and facilitation skills. Effective meeting preparation can make the difference between wasting time and getting things accomplished and most of the important preparation work needs to occur well before everyone comes together.  Meeting facilitation is an art in and of itself and this session will provide participants with additional strategies to use at their next team meeting.
This 2-hour workshop is available to leadership teams upon request.

Conflict Resolution 

Conflict and disagreements will occur—when handled well, they can often lead to better solutions, increased productivity, improved retention, and increased profit. When conflict is ignored or mismanaged, it will have a detrimental impact on relationships and work culture. Identifying and successfully managing conflict are some of the most important skills that you can learn and develop as a leader. This workshop series will guide participants on how to approach conflict from a place of understanding and provide a framework to work through conflict to keep the lines of communication in the workplace open and positive.
