In this inspiring, thought-provoking, and reflective half-day session you will gain a new perspective on leadership in this profession. As one of Canada’s most respected voices on leadership and organizational culture, David Irvine offers a new view of who you are as a leader and what you can become.

“In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” Eric Hoffer, philosopher
To survive – and thrive – you have to learn to adapt to change, as well as learn what and when not to change. Once you have made a decision to be a leader, you become the agent of change. But where is your road map? Where are your tools? There are eight stages of change. The first is chaos; the eighth is possibility. Once you lead yourself and others to the point where possibility is embraced, transforming fear into confidence, you have done your job. When you have mastered the art of embracing change, you will not only build a strong, vital organization. You will build a strong, vital life.
