Course 1: Enhancing Leadership through Emotional Intelligence (MDP 1):
Wednesday, August 5, 2026 | 9:00 - 11:00 a.m.
The role of today’s manager has evolved far beyond simple task management; in order to inspire and lead high-performing teams, now more than ever, managers must actively seek to shift to a people-focused mindset in order to foster positive relationships, create a supportive work environment, and support employee well-being.
This course is designed to act as the foundation for managerial success through the lens of emotional intelligence. Throughout this session, participants will deep-dive into the different facets of emotional intelligence: its impact in the workplace, how to cultivate and maintain trusting relationships, and how today’s managers can effectively utilize emotional intelligence not only to understand their own personal tendencies and enhance their self and social awareness, but also to manage their own professional image and outward perception.
Course 2: The Human-Centered Approach to Change (MDP 2):
Wednesday, August 5, 2026 | 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. (Lunch will be provided)
Change is inevitable in the business world, and businesses that struggle to adapt, struggle to succeed. Whether that change is big or small, managers often find themselves leading the charge in supporting organizational changes with their teams. Understanding how to navigate change effectively is paramount for today’s managers, as your approach could be the difference between acceptance or rejection amongst your team.
Throughout this course, managers will gain deeper insight into key concepts surrounding change management that will allow them to manage change proactively, minimize resistance, and foster a positive and resilient workforce. Topics will include the significance of change adoption, change management principles, as well as supporting your team to embrace change to achieve business objectives.
