Sport Leaders Retreat: Registration Deadline October 5
(Ottawa, Ontario – October 1, 2018) -- The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) and the Sport Law & Strategy Group are once again offering the Sport Leaders Retreat to help sport executives from provincial, national and multi-sport organizations enhance their leadership skills. The program includes a Nova Profile personality assessment, two coaching conversations, and a two-day retreat that runs November 27-29 at a retreat-style venue in the Ottawa area. Don’t delay - registration is limited and the registration deadline is October 5, 2018.
Consider this a leadership development boot camp. The intent is for sport leaders to gain access to new ways of relating to self, others and the world around them. Leaders will:
- Learn the importance of creating a values-driven culture;
- Develop insight into leadership strengths and blind spots, including how to manage using multiple intelligences;
- Develop an understanding of different leadership styles and ways to apply them;
- Adopt strategies to communicate more effectively;
- Increase awareness of different energy states;
- Experience different approaches to address difficult conversations; and
- Participate in peer-to-peer discussions that address real life problems in a supportive learning environment.
