2026 Program Sessions
Session 1: Understanding your leadership style
Date: Feb. 25 – 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in person
Practicum 1: March 11- 12 to 1 p.m., virtual
This foundational session will help participants understand their strengths and areas of opportunity as it relates to their leadership style. Looking at the skills and behaviours that are supercharging or possibly derailing them, participants will focus on understanding how critical leadership competencies link to diversity, equity and inclusion, while learning the importance of emotional intelligence to deepen one’s effective leadership skills.
Session 2: Building trust in the workplace
Date: April 29 – 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., virtual
Practicum 2: May 13 – 12 to 1 p.m., virtual
Trust is a direct result of creating an inclusive culture where individuals are allowed to develop strong relationships, communicate authentically, and effectively persuade and influence others. Trust is built when leaders communicate cleary, connect authentically, and create space for strong relationships to grow. In this session, participants will focus on how empathy, relationships and self-awareness build credibility and influence within teams and with key organizational stakeholders.
Session 3: Managing conflict and driving solutions
Date: Sept. 16 – 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in person
Practicum 3: Sept. 23 – 12 to 1 p.m., virtual
Conflict is a natural part of leading a team, but if not managed well, it can slow decision-making and reduce creativity. In this session, participants will learn to recognize and address conflict using practical, solution-focused strategies that help move conversations forward. By applying key emotional intelligence skills, leaders will be better equipped to manage tension, stay composed, and guide their teams toward productive outcomes. These skills empower leaders to turn challenges into opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Session 4: Leading through constant change
Date: Nov. 4 – 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in person
Practicum 4: Nov. 18 – 12 to 1 p.m., virtual
In today’s fast-changing world, where uncertainty is the norm, change is constant. As leaders, we’re often pushed into situations that demand quick thinking and adaptability. Without the ability to respond effectively, leaders and teamsrisk falling behind and missing out on key opportunities. This session helps leaders strengthen their resilience, agility, and stress management skills to navigate change with clarity and confidence.
