ILead Leadership Labs: Lessons in Leadership from Positive Psychology

March 2, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Room 202, Galbraith Building
35 St. George Street

 

How can we emerge from the stress-strain of Covid-times to thrive in our everyday lives? This Leadership Lab begins with a short lesson on a core concept of Positive Psychology: Resilience. With this powerful idea framing our thinking, we’ll move into action-planning mode. You’ll leave the workshop with a clear idea of how to step up to the unique challenges of leading yourself these next weeks and months to succeed at Skule and beyond. Pizza and refreshments provided.

About the Facilitator: Dr Robin Sacks
