Join SSSC for sessions exploring leadership practice.
The Scottish Social Services Council is facilitating two learning opportunities for senior and strategic leaders.
The first is an informal two-hour Peer Support and Reflective Practice session which is designed to bring people together to reflect on, and share, their leadership experiences and learning from the past two years, thinking about how this learning can be used to support themselves and others going forward. There are eight of these sessions between now and the end of March 2022 and with a limited group sizes to eight to allow for meaningful discussion. Participants would only need to attend one session.
The second session is a more focussed Leading in a Crisis workshop where participants will be supported to consider in a bit more depth what’s needed to successfully lead with compassion during a crisis and to reflect on personal leadership capability, including strengths and areas for leadership development. These will be three-hour sessions and they will be delivered in March 2022. Again group sizes will be limited to eight and people would only need to attend one session.
The sessions are being delivered by Kinharvie, have been funded and commissioned by the Scottish Government, and are being supported by the SSSC. The sessions will be delivered online via Zoom.
The sessions will be running across a number of dates and times in February and March.
Suitable potential delegates can sign up to one session only. If you are interested in joining a
