As physicians, you are in a constant state of having to generate and share opinions and decisions. In today’s ever-evolving health care climate, effective leaders have to be equally versed in adapting or adjusting these decisions. After viewing a series of curated TED-style videos from diverse thought leaders, participants will work in small groups to explore how embracing new information and changing your mind can be done without sacrificing your reputation or the respect of your colleagues. 

The Insights Discovery®, a psychometric tool based on the psychology of Carl Jung, was designed to increase self-awareness at work. It uses a simple and memorable four colour model to help people better understand themselves and others, helping them make the most of their working relationships. These colour energies (Fiery Red, Sunshine Yellow, Earth Green and Cool Blue) determine how and why people behave the way they do. 

Included in the program, each participant will complete a pre-assessment and receive their own Insights Discovery personality profile at the event. Over the course of the workshop, participants will learn a simple process to better understand their working style, their strengths and the value they bring to their team. You will also gain an understanding of others’ working styles to collaborate more effectively.

Determining how you want to be seen and known is an important part of managing your career
and practice as a physician.

Why should positioning or branding matter to physicians?

A physician’s professional brand – or reputation - impacts how they are perceived by others –
be they patients, staff, or colleagues. It signals to the world who you are, what’s important to you
and how you add value. Titles and designations alone don’t do this. They simply indicate one’s
role and credentials. If you want to be seen beyond the letters that follow your name, you need
to let the world know.

Join us for an evening of singing, dancing, and lively east coast entertainment as we pub crawl along George Street. A fish and chips dinner plus drinks along the way are included in the ticket price as well as the chance to be “screeched-in” and become an honorary Newfoundlander. Kiss a fish and dance the night away with your fellow CWIM Leaders!

Self-awareness is a critical leadership tool. In this session, we will use the science of what makes great teams to uncover how to leverage our individual strengths, abilities and preferences to effectively lead and participate in teams.
 

Modern healthcare rightly relies on data, precision, and timely action—yet those very demands can leave little space for the quieter information your body offers. In this session we pause, notice a full-body yes and a clear no, and let receptive yin and focused yang dance together instead of compete. Through story, guided sensing, and private reflection you’ll explore how these subtle signals can steady decisions and nurture kinder, still-effective action. Sharing is optional; simple noticing is enough. Come curious about your other ways of knowing, and leave reminded that love, grounded in the body, can humanise every clinical team and organisation.

Chances are that you arrived at CWIM Leaders with an idea or project you want to take root - or are leaving your retreat experience with new inspirations to transplant. The next crucial step is communicating your vision for change and recruiting others to join you. In this interactive one hour workshop, you’ll cultivate and communicate new ideas in a way that builds momentum and engages teams using Marshall Ganz’s Public Narrative framework. Whether you are looking to update a call schedule or reform a residency program, Public Narrative will become a favourite tool in your belt!
