Calendar of Events

In the absence of intentional coaching, employees often lack the support they need to develop and perform at their highest levels. Effective leaders are skilled at coaching the people they lead to inspire growth, change, and healthy work relationships. This workshop provides a leadership approach for coaching others effectively and provides tools that bring out the best in the people. Through the use of case studies, participants will learn a five-step coaching model for working with their employees to enable changes in behaviour, promote skill development, and resolve conflict.

HR3.0 - The People & Culture era is more than a name change. It's a paradigm shift requiring new business partnership skills and abilities. Culture Coaching focuses on unleashing organizational culture potential and offers an approach all HR practitioners need to learn about. During this session we will review the key concepts and share insights on how a culture action plan is different than other plans.

Constant change is the new business normal and this means that we need to be prepared to deal with it all the time. Change management can be a complex process and therefore requires attention from employees of all levels in the organization. It is key for an HR professional to assess the human impact of change by finding ways to encourage a smooth transition to new workplace responsibilities, and to successfully implement new processes while minimizing negative outcomes.

From this event you will benefit from experts who will guide you through the change management process in attempts to minimize both short and long-term disruption to make workplace transitions as seamless as possible. Lets learn together, while apart at our upcoming symposium.

Dealing with issues related to mental health in the workplace can be challenging and difficult to navigate. It is essential that organizations have the capabilities to manage mental health because early identification and support typically leads to continued productivity and retention of employees. With the right support, people with mental health concerns can thrive in the workplace. This workshop provides a roadmap to help managers participate in conversations with employees who may require support when experiencing difficulties related to mental health. Participants will learn strategies for creating a more inclusive work environment that reduces stigma surrounding mental illness.

The temporary or permanent loss of a key person can greatly affect your firm's future. How do you protect your business from losing financial resources, key talent, employees, and customers? The webinar will identify the elements of a business continuation plan, including communications, important agreements, shareholder considerations, and insurance funding.

The term 'toxic masculinity' has been used to describe the negative impact of the behaviour of some men. In this webinar, we will explore what is meant by the term toxic masculinity and its relationship to workplace effectiveness. How does toxic masculinity impact workplace culture, psychological safety, and individual and team effectiveness? What might be the relationship between toxic masculinity and emotional intelligence? We will discuss a potential way forward which involves leveraging emotional intelligence competencies to reduce the damaging effects of toxic masculinity. Join Jill Cory and David Cory, Vancouver Island-based coaches and leadership development specialists, as they share with you what you need to know as an HR professional and how to reduce and/or shift the impact of toxic masculinity in your workplace.

Employers everywhere have faced a highly accelerated pace of change over the past twelve months. Coupled with the already existent complexities of meeting the needs of the evolving modern workforce, establishing best practices in order to create a fantastic culture feels overwhelming. With so much of the workforce moving to more permanent hybrid/remote structures, employers need to prioritize modernizing their business practices in order to retain their top talent. In this powerful session, we will not simply engage in data points and rhetoric, but will provide recommendations for best practices in continuous performance management that can be implemented immediately by HR departments of any size.

New and amplified mindsets and capabilities for leaders have emerged over the past year that will continue to be important as we look to the future. 2020 was a year of upheaval for the world of work and turned leadership on its head. Digital transformation, the global pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, corporate social responsibility and other societal factors have rapidly cast a new light on what 'good leadership' is.

Being an effective leader requires us to be thoughtful and intentional about what we do and how we do it – it takes time and requires work. Taking the time to intentionally think about leadership may not get the attention it warrants, yet it is one of the most important things we can do to raise the performance of both ourselves and our organization. This webinar provides insights for helping leaders to fine-tune their leadership philosophy and focus in on parts of their own leadership that need further development. Participants will be challenged to think critically about their own approach to leadership development and gain unique insights that will strengthen their abilities as a leader.

When employees are not actively engaged at work, not only do they suffer – the organization does as well. Workplaces with high levels of engagement have employees that are committed and feel a connection to the organization. Engaged employees are willing to use discretionary time, brainpower, and effort beyond what is expected of them. This webinar explores how employee engagement occurs more readily when employees are respected and cared for, when they do tasks that bring them satisfaction, and when they work in an organization that makes a difference. Participants will learn unique insights for increasing engagement and be challenged to think critically about their approach to employee engagement.
