This fall the Toronto Society of Architects (TSA) and Building Equality in Architecture Toronto (BEAT) are teaming up to bring you two technical lectures focusing on building leadership through those essential but often elusive soft skills! Our first lecture will take place on September 17 and will focus on communication styles and body-language. The second lecture will take place on October 17 and will center on identifying your work style and how it impacts your ability to make decisions, manage stress and communicate with others.

Lecture Description

As a leader, you are most effective when you develop and leverage your own, unique style. In this engaging session, you will identify your workstyle and learn how it holds you back or helps you to be successful. You will learn practical tips to develop a style that builds strong relationships and minimizes conflict.

Agenda:

• Review the 4 types of workstyles
