Emerging Leaders Speak About Their Experience

Student Health Leaders Dialogue Series

Concept: 

Dialogue is a powerful catalyst for learning, personal development and deepening one's leadership practice.  This is the central ideal behind the Health Leaders Dialogue Series, a forum for contemporary leadership development.  Guided by the Vernissage Health Dialogue Touchstones,  we create trust, mentoring relationships, and a safe space for authentic sharing about health leadership.  

The series bring together emerging and established leaders, in a small group environment, for dialogue about leadership.  Emerging leaders are embarking on their leadership careers while established leaders are mid to late-career leaders with successful careers across broad sectors in health. Established leaders bring deep experience working in government, the community, health institutions, public health and the private sector.

Dialogue sessions provide a unique opportunity for leaders to listen, self-reflect, and share personal stories about leadership. Ultimately, this unique experience shapes and develops emerging or early career leaders with the mindsets and confidence to provide leadership to create positive change in Canadian health system.  

The dialogue sessions are designed to provide a positive learning environment that fosters insights and authentic dialogue about leadership and provides the opportunity to examine diverse experiences, thoughts, and insights about the challenges and opportunities facing today’s health leaders.
