“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.” –Brené Brown

Are you wanting to develop concrete leadership skills that can be helpful for managing up and down? Do you hope to prepare yourself to mentor future students or employees, or find ways to effectively lead fieldwork teams or lab groups? 

Leaders do not avoid, repress, or deny conflict, but rather see it as an opportunity. -Warren G. Bennis

The second of our three online leadership workshops in 2024 focused on building effective teams and navigating conflict. The recording for this event can be accessed here.

Participants will gain an understanding of how to explore ways to be supported professionally and personally, from seeking out traditional mentors to pursuing personal accountability.
