Hone the leadership skills you need in order to address the complex challenges facing higher ed today.

Event Information

Join us for this highly interactive in-person conference to learn new strategies and approaches to address some of the most common challenges you face as a Dean. Special focus will be given to creating a unit culture that builds a great workplace environment and with the help of our expert speaker panel and a network of other Deans, you will have the time, space, and support to discuss how to: 

Flex and adapt your leadership approach, communication, and decision-making to meet others where they are.

Build relational capital with others by focusing on win-win outcomes, especially during times of conflict.

Design effective meetings that allow room for all voices to be heard.

Implement proven techniques that encourage your team to work collaboratively to achieve desired outcomes.

Through a variety of group activities and discussions, you’ll share your perspective on how to successfully navigate your role, and you’ll also walk away with useful insights from other academic Deans. 

To preserve an intimate and productive experience, this conference is capped at 30 attendees.

Since this program focuses on leadership effectiveness and not just on the nuts and bolts of running your college, we invite academic Deans of all experience levels to attend. If you’re looking to grow both your relationships and your influence across your college or institution, this conference is for you.
