Optimizing teamwork & leadership: Inclusive leadership & creating cohesive groups for student leaders

The intention of this interactive program is to empower participants in developing teamwork, leadership skills and practical strategies for operating in a range of plausible yet unpredictable futures. Please note that this is a two-part workshop series.

Desired outcomes include:

• Engaging in a learning community through interactions, experimentation and sharing.
• Recognizing and welcoming inclusive practices into team settings.
• Practicing strategic collective processes such as decision-making in various contexts.
• Defining actions to be implemented to develop resilience as leaders, team members and learners.

The September 17 (Part 1) and 24 (Part 2) sessions are open to all graduate students and postdocs. These sessions are especially beneficial for members of a team to do together if possible as it can function as a catalyst for teams to have more time and tools to think more intentionally about inclusion, participation and decision-making. It is designed to facilitate group dynamics and collaboration.
