Authentic Leadership

Authentic Leadership by Trillium Teams will help participants discover their authentic leadership style to be a more effective communicator and engaging leader. Participants will discern and clarify the strengths of their communication style, learn concrete tools and gain the confidence to put these into practice.

The two-day course is a good mix of lecture, one-on-one work with the other participants and the two facilitators, small group work, as well as large group debriefs. Topics of the course will include:

  • Emotional intelligence and how it applies to leadership;
  • The DISC behavioural model to gain insight into more effective communication;
  • Difficult conversations, an ongoing leadership challenge; and
  • Narrative leadership at the heart of clear and memorable communication.

“I really enjoyed this course. It’s interactive, informative, and brought another perspective to my leadership style,” said one FI participant.

“This course has opened my eyes to the different communication styles to facilitate better relationships, understanding and communication,” said Ava Hardie, FI-2 at DND.
