Physician Leadership Institute
Doctors Nova Scotia has collaborated with CMA Joule to offer two-day courses. Doctors Nova Scotia members are able to participate at a reduced rate because DNS is subsidizing 60 percent of the program costs for physicians.
The association is pleased to offer $200/weekend to cover expenses related to childcare. Review the Childcare Policy here.
Leadership Begins with Self Awareness
In your professional life, you may face many obstacles: the struggle to make meaningful change at work, clashing with certain personality types or feeling disengaged. The solutions – which require creativity, innovative thinking and collaboration – must start with self-awareness.
In this PLI course, you will begin to develop a profound sense of self through examining your personal vision and values, personality attributes, emotional intelligence skills and intrinsic strengths. These personal insights will help shape your leadership development plan. Participants can expect to learn how to:
- recognize the critical importance of personal mastery as a foundation for effective leadership
- achieve a more complete view of yourself as a leader with respect to personal values and principles, personality style, emotional intelligence and strengths
- develop strategies to harness your strengths and manage your limitations
- establish a professional development action plan that includes setting personal leadership goals
Date: Feb. 20 to April 2, 2023
Time commitment: Live webinars will be held each Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (AT) starting Feb. 23 and ending March 30. There will also be three to four hours per week of independent activities, including several pre-course assessments.
Cost: $1,000 per participant
Registration deadline: Jan. 30, 2023
