Leaders need to work with a variety of people under any number of situations. This workshop is an opportunity to see what your dominant and recessive strengths are. Do you value rules and structure? Do you like to think outside the box? Are you adventurous? Or are you analytical? What happens when you are in a room with someone similar in character, or different? How do you work most effectively with a diverse group of people? Learn your own strengths and those of your team members (bring a colleague!) at this interactive and energetic workshop.

Power and Privilege will explore a deeper understanding of the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and power, how it is afforded and denied to people in Canada based on their race, class, gender, ethnicity, religion, etc. We will explore the topic of power and privilege from the perspective that the oppression is the enemy, not the individual who was born in to a privileged identity group, and that the engagement of individuals on both sides of the privilege line is critical to interrupting and ending that oppression.
