We know how to do our jobs well and then we are appointed ‘lead’ of a group of adults. We have a credential or license to do our educational and/or clinical work yet becoming a department chair, committee head or team lead requires different set of skills. In this session participants will discuss the role of “group leader” and the skill set that goes with this new role in building collaborative and professional culture within their workplaces.
Participants will learn how to:

Increase one’s credibility in the role as chair or team lead
Understand adult learning theory and how that plays out in meeting design
Use non-verbal language to create an approachable or credible stance depending on the needs of the situation
Listen and paraphrase effectively so others feel heard
Ask questions others want to answer
Provide effective feedback through praise, suggestions and requests
