Courage
in a “Toxic” Culture
Executive Symposium Key Facilitator:
Doreen
Harvey
Christian women leaders are not
exempt from the challenges of
difficult relationships and toxic
environments in the workplace.
This Executive Symposium will
equip you with an arsenal of tools
to deal effectively with the negative
and confusing relationships one
occasionally encounters with staff,
organizations, boards, and leadership.
We
will endeavour to deal with the
hard questions, the shock talk
and the fierce conversations that
we need to engage in if we are
to maintain our personal dignity,
passion and sense of calling in
the midst of tension and uncertainty.
This interactive session will
also provide insight into identifying
and preventing these toxic situations
and relationships from occurring.
Take
away practical tools and principles
of personal leadership to help
you find the courage to stand
strong through these often dark
and lonely times.
You
will receive…
> ways
to identify a toxic environment
> the
framework and tools to do a problem
assessment
> insightful
ways to engage in Fierce Conversations
> guiding
principles of personal leadership
> interactive
discussions with peers
