#WECAN Masterclass: Empowering women to be resilient leaders
#WECAN (Women Empowered through Coaching and Networking) project aims to enhance the resilience and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by building the leadership skills, capabilities and opportunities of women in the Leeds City Region.

Resilience is defined as ‘the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties’, a skill we require both personally and professionally, but especially as a leader.

In this session you will:

  • Discuss what supports resilience and what drains it
  • Explore Carol Dweck’s ideas on positive mindset
  • Develop strategies to strengthen resilience as a leader

Speaker

The session will be led by #WECAN Delivery Lead Kim Sanderson. Kim has over 25 years’ experience of teaching in further education. Kim currently works as a Programme Developer and Assessor at the Leadership Centre in Leeds Business School at Leeds Beckett University. Her role involves the design, delivery and assessment of leadership and management courses for businesses. Prior to joining Leeds Beckett University, she worked in the retail and further education sector and has experience of leading and managing teams in both.

The session will be hosted using MS Teams - a meeting link will be sent to you in advance.
