Character Symposium

The Character Symposium (CS) is based upon the work of Mary Crossan, Gerard Seijts, and others who have been focused on the power of character since 2008. The CS is based on empirically validated research into the positive impact of character and offers a clear path to identify, activate, and develop the character of your teams. The CS includes:

  • Three modules with an emphasis upon your character and that of your teams

  • Modules cover activation, development, and embedding

  • Sessions facilitated by a certified Leader Character Practitioner (Ian O. Ihanatowycz Institute for Leadership at the Ivey School of Business, Western University)

    The CS is conducted in partnership with Leader Character Associates

    While suitable as a stand alone offering, the CS is best employed as a follow up to the LDW
