Part 1: Leading Well  - A solid foundation  

Transform your leadership approach with Leading Well - A Solid Foundation. This engaging workshop will focus on leadership strategies, actions, and tools to better support mental health, resilience, and psychological safety from a systems perspective. These elements are foundational and imperative to ensuring that workplace environments are supportive, resilient and ready to adapt in the face of change. This session will not only look at individual skills and actions, but also actions and behaviours that can enhance wellbeing and productivity at a unit and organizational level.  

Part 2: Leading Change – A human centered approach   

Building on the solid foundation of Part 1, this session will empower you to lead your team to thrive through change with confidence and empathy. Explore impactful models and theories of change, and learn how to effectively support individual and team responses during transitions.  Focus on ways to strengthen psychological safety and wellbeing, ensuring that your leadership is not only effective but also centered on the human experience. 

Join us to transform your leadership journey and inspire your team through every phase of change.
