LEAD YOURSELF. LEAD OTHERS. CREATE THE CONDITIONS WHERE PEOPLE THRIVE.

“The opportunity to explore the kind of leader I want to be, and put it into practice, has had a ripple effect on how I lead every day. It’s not just theory. It’s applicable, personal, and rooted in self-awareness.”– Becky Cheverton, Manager, Events and Programs, Swimming Canada

BE Leadership Essentials is designed for people who want to build a strong foundation for leading themselves and others with confidence and intention. Through interactive learning, reflection, and coaching, participants develop the mindsets and skills to build meaningful relationships and

create the conditions where people can learn, grow, and perform at their best. Whether you're preparing for your first leadership role or have been leading people for several years, this program is for those who want to become more intentional in how they lead.

The group sessions will cover a variety of topics including:

• Leading with Vulnerability
• Building Trusted Connections
• Creating Psychologically Safer Spaces
• Boosting your Emotional Intelligence
• Embracing Awkward Conversations
• Coaching for Impact

Each group session combines discussion, reflection, and practical application to help participants deepen their understanding of leadership and explore what it means to intentionally create the conditions where people can thrive. While much of the learning takes place during the sessions,

participants should expect individual reflection and practical application between sessions. By the end of the course, each participant will have created a Personal Leadership User Manual* that captures their leadership philosophy, strengths, values, and approach to leading others..

The individual coaching sessions allow participants to explore topics such as:

• Personal values
• Defining your leadership
• Developing your Emotional Intelligence
• What conditions am I creating for others?
• Personalized themes

Registration Fee: $2500.00 + applicable taxes

Registration is limited to a maximum of 10 people.

“What stood out most was the balance of depth and action. We weren’t just talking about leadership - we were practicing it, getting feedback, and learning from each other. The group’s vulnerability, compassion, and insight made this a truly impactful part of my leadership journey.” – Jessica Ferguson – Manager, Paralympic System & Services, Canadian Paralympic Committee

The one-on-one coaching sessions will be scheduled at regular intervals throughout the program. Participants who wish to further their leadership journey can access an additional bundle of leadership coaching sessions following the conclusion of the course at a discounted rate.

*What is a Personal Leadership User Manual? 

A Personal User Manual (or Personal Operating Manual) is a tool that allows people to collect short descriptions of themselves such as one’s background, values, communication style, etc. These manuals are a great tool for self-reflection. They can be created for personal use or for sharing with others (e.g., colleagues).

Throughout the BE Leadership Essentials, participants will have the opportunity to create their own Personal User Manual with a focus on their leadership style.
