2019-12-17 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Edmonton) | University of Alberta Loughheed Hall
There’s lots of talk about leadership and learning in our workplace. Yet, leaders’ relationship with learning remains troubled by terminology, safety, and fear. In this participatory session led by Bailey Sousa & Alex Clark, explore the place and value of true learning in your own leadership. Engage with research on why learning matters so much in leadership, and how to be a better leader, by being a better learner.
11:30 am – 1 pm

City Room, Peter Lougheed Hall
11011 Saskatchewan Drive

Being an Entrepreneur--> The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
2020-01-20 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Edmonton) | NAIT Campus, 11762 - 106 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, T5G2R1, Canada
Event description

Description

Craig Elias, Entrepreneur-in-Residence for Bow Valley College, will lead us through a candid discussion with a panel of Edmonton entrepreneurs. We will get personal with the good, the bad and the ugly.
“Accept that you may fail, but instead of wallowing, learn from your missteps.Some entrepreneurs go through several failed startups before finding their golden ticket. It requires a degree of humility to accept education and insight from your mistakes, so check your ego at the door….Being an entrepreneur can be tough, but the rewards are tremendous. People can tell you how good it feels to see your business win and thrive, but until you see it happen, it’s hard to really comprehend the sheer joy and satisfaction.” Excerpts from The Startup Medium Tips.
Listing of panelist to be updated.
This session will be hosted in CAT 191.
