About the Event
Amidst persistent economic headwinds, rising inflation, and skills shortages across Canada, leaders are under mounting pressure to perform in ambiguity. This webinar explores behavioral agility as a core leadership capability—especially relevant for Canadian organizations navigating stalled growth, organizational restructuring, and employee uncertainty. Designed for senior HR leaders, this session provides actionable insight into how to develop behavioral agility in your leadership pipeline. We’ll explore how to nurture self-awareness, shift mindsets, and support leaders in adapting their behaviors to meet the evolving needs of their teams, their organizations, and the broader business context—especially in times of volatility and change.
In this session, you’ll:
- Understand the role of behavioral agility in navigating Canada’s current economic landscape
- Learn how to nurture behavioral agility across leadership levels and organizational contexts
- Identify patterns of rigidity in leaders during organizational change, mergers, or slowdowns, emphasizing the need for contextual self-awareness
- Translate behavioral agility into practical tools, language, and development strategies within your organization
