Wise Leadership and Culture Change: Getting Started
While culture change involves collaboration and empowerment throughout the organization, it is critically important for those in formal leadership positions to actively nurture the process. This webinar builds upon the “Put Living First: Creating a Culture Where Everyone Thrives” webinar held on March 28, 2019 by exploring organizational growth and the concept of wise leadership.
Dr. Allen Power, Schlegel Chair in Aging and Dementia Innovation, shares eight personal transformation goals for successful leadership and describes several tools and processes that will help each organization evaluate readiness for change, begin the journey, and monitor progress along the way. Stories of successful initiatives from other organizations are shared, and listeners will have opportunities to self-reflect on how well they are positioned to move forward.
By watching this webinar, you will:
- Learn 8 personal goals for leaders in culture change and know how to assess your own skills in these areas.
- Assess readiness for change and determine needs at each stage of readiness.
- Understand the concept of “frost” and steps for moving beyond it.

Meaning, Memory & Mystery: Exploring Spiritual Care in Long-term Care
When life is difficult, it begs for meaning: Who am I? Why am I still alive? What is my role, now, in my family and community? How do I deal with change and loss? What is the meaning of life? These are spiritual questions.
Canadian society is shifting from a time when traditional religious expression was common, to greater diversity in our understandings of spirituality. How, then, do we support the spirits of all those in our long-term care (LTC) communities? What addresses our needs for love, hope, peace, joy?
By watching this webinar you will…
-
- Explore the meaning of ‘spirituality’ and how it intersects with the experience of aging.
- Become more aware of:
– The spiritual needs of residents.
– ‘Spiritual resources’ people access and how we can support them.
– Barriers that get in the way of optimum spiritual care. - Imagine new ways of supporting the spirits of residents, families and team members, making spiritual care more accessible for everyone.
