Presented in collaboration with the Canadian Innovation Centre for Mental Health in the Workplace
Today’s leaders are navigating unprecedented levels of uncertainty, rapid change, and organizational complexity. These pressures can unintentionally erode psychological safety, diminish team energy, and increase the risk of harm—even when leaders are deeply committed to supporting their people. Ensuring leaders have the skills to communicate clearly, reduce friction, and model calm self management is essential to protecting the employee experience.
This webinar series is designed for leaders who need practical, immediately applicable tools that reinforce safe leadership practices, strengthen interpersonal confidence, and enhance team performance, building on APEX’s new Positive Leadership Toolkit. Each session is intentionally brief (45 to 60 minutes) to fit into busy schedules while offering actionable frameworks leaders can immediately apply within their respective organizations.
The Setting Yourself Up For Success Leader Series offers leaders brief learning bursts to help them manage complexity without harming themselves, their teams or their colleagues. Each session equips leaders with realistic tools, behavioural clarity, lived experience, and increased confidence to lead with steadiness, compassion, and impact—even during turbulent periods.
Together, these sessions reinforce a leadership model based on the principles of positive leadership, where psychological safety and self-awareness work hand in hand to create teams that are more resilient, more engaged, and better equipped to deliver results.
Checking In With Authenticity: Real Conversations About Well Being That Don’t Feel Awkward or Forced
Many leaders want to support well being but fear overstepping, sounding scripted, or opening a door they don’t have the capacity to walk through. Yet simple, authentic check ins are one of the strongest predictors of psychological safety, early issue detection, and employee resilience.
This guided session creates space for leaders to experience what a supportive check in feels like—and then learn the mechanics behind it.
This session provides:
- A facilitated check in where participants reflect on how they’re doing and what’s affecting their energy.
- A brief model for safe, non clinical, non intrusive well being conversations.
- Simple, repeatable Well Being Prompts leaders can use immediately.
- Do and don’t behaviours to ensure check ins are helpful, not performative.
- How to create a supportive atmosphere without becoming a therapist, fixer, or problem solver.
