Leading through Instability - Managing Conversations about Change

January 27, 2026 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (PST)

Description

Change in post-secondary institutions is constant, complex, and deeply personal. People leaders are being asked to guide faculty and staff through restructuring, workforce reductions, and institutional shifts—all while managing their uncertainty. This session explores the psychological, emotional, and leadership dimensions of change, equipping participants with strategies to lead with clarity, empathy, and resilience. 

Participants will gain insights into the human impact of change, the role of psychological safety in uncertain environments, and techniques for communicating difficult decisions while maintaining engagement. By examining their own experiences with change and learning practical approaches to leading transitions, participants will strengthen their ability to support themselves and others effectively. 

Key Topics: 

  • The psychological and emotional impact of change on individuals and teams 
  • Leading through uncertainty while balancing multiple and shifting priorities 
  • Strategies for communicating difficult changes with clarity and confidence 
  • Navigating concerns in a high-tension labour environment 
  • Building resilience and inclusion in times of instability

Please note: Participants must have completed Sessions 1 and 2 to be eligible for Session 3.
