You will be enabled and supported to facilitate and sustain an organizational culture with value-congruent behaviour that ensures the organization’s strategic ability to respond to change with cognitive and emotional flexibility.

Compulsory Courses
This course provides leaders with the knowledge, understanding, and skills of conversational literacy, a key to strategic and transformational leadership. Using an engaging combination of synchronous, asynchronous, and self-directed learning, the participants’ personal and strategic conversational literacy is enhanced, enabling them to make the significant shift from typical parent-child leadership models of communication to adult-adult models of communication.
This course was developed in partnership with Holland Bloorview’s Humanistic Education and Training Program.
In this course, leaders will learn how to integrate the skills, practices and theory acquired up to this point. Knowledge and practice are consolidated with learning from neuroscience, neurobiology and communication sciences, in ways that illuminate and reinforce understanding and practice of conversational literacy, reinforcing the ability to engage in adult-to-adult conversations which amplifies optimal functioning across the organization.
