Having Courageous Conversations: Student Workshop

Registration is full. Please check back in the Winter 2025 term for an updated list of workshops.

Facilitated by Aziza Kajan, Director, Centre for Graduate Mentorship and Supervision, Lauren Pais, Case Coordinator, Centre for Graduate Mentorship and Supervision.

Is there something you would like to say to a supervisor or colleague, and you are struggling to find a way to say it? Do you find it challenging to have an uncomfortable conversation? In this workshop, we will discuss what is meant by a courageous conversation, and where these conversations fit in the supervisory relationship. This workshop will be comprised of case studies and reflective group discussions; we gently request you attend with an openness to engage in group dialogue. We will also spend time highlighting interpersonal approaches and skills to help you have these conversations.
