The Banff CentreLeadership Development
events

Our Exploratoriums investigate how arts and ecology can help advance the practice of leadership. Led by special guests, we look inward, outward, and upward at the world around us. These series of thought provoking discussions bring together thought. Thought leaders, artists, leadership development practitioners, creative thinkers, and curious minds.

PAST EXPLORATORIUMS

Why Systems Thinking Matters

With Felicity Edwards — March 1, 2010

Exploring Natural Systems

Rehearsing the System

Tools for Work-Life Balance

With Tracey Delfs

Tracey Delfs will lead us through an exploration of different mindfulness and grounding techniques that we can use in our daily lives, to help keep us from feeling overwhelmed when life gets hectic.

Innovation in Education

With Warren Woytuck

Join Warren Woytuck and the Leadership Learning Lab as we explore how re-envisioning relationships between community partners and schools can build stronger learning communities. We’ll look at the latest in community development and discover creative thinking and leadership strategies that are applicable in any situation.

The KaosPilots and Creative Education

With Simon Kavanagh

It’s an interesting, and subtle distinction in phrasing. KaosPilot, a unique educational institution based in Denmark, has as its vision to “be the best school for the world.” Not “in” the world. But “for” the world. The KaosPilots are Masters-level students who pursue a mind-boggling gamut of creative projects and studies throughout the world. They are coached to become enterprising leaders who navigate change for the benefit of themselves, and also for society as a whole.
