SPH Leadership Series

In this session, students will gain the tools and confidence needed to navigate difficult conversations effectively. They will delve into different conflict styles, understanding how each one influences communication dynamics and outcomes. Through interactive exercises, students will learn practical strategies for managing conflicts, addressing sensitive issues, and maintaining positive relationships. This session will equip students with the ability to approach challenging discussions with empathy and respect.

This self-care workshop is designed to provide student leaders with practical strategies and tools to take care of their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. This workshop aims to raise awareness about the importance of self-care, provide participants with an opportunity to assess their current self-care practices, learn how to identify signs of burnout and gain tools and techniques for developing a personalized self-care plan. 

This session is based on the principles of the Design Your Life methodology, developed by Stanford University professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. The approach encourages students to apply design thinking—a solution-focused, action-oriented process typically used in product and service development—to the design of their own lives. This session will provide students with practical tools and frameworks that not only enhance their decision-making skills but also help them redefine and align their concept of success with their true values and aspirations.
