Course Description:
THE NEW SCIENCE OF LEADERSHIP: When facing persistent, resistant challenges, leaders often surrender to poor results or invest in change efforts that waste time and resources. And yet it’s possible to influence behavior with surprisingly predictable success. For the past thirty years, we’ve studied leaders with a proven ability to influence rapid, profound and sustainable change. And here’s what we know: human behavior is grounded in six sources of influence. Effective leaders know how to leverage and apply these sources to influence real results. Influencer goes beyond corporate perks and charismatic personalities to teach a method for changing ingrained human behavior. Leaders learn how to achieve better results by changing human habits that are extraordinarily difficult to alter—especially those that mire down teams and organizations. Drawing on the skills of the world’s best change agents and five decades of social-science research, Influencer teaches why people do what they do and how to help them act differently.

OBJECTIVES

Explore the impact of arts and humanities in health professions education and practice, including their role in fostering better outcomes.
Engage with the arts’ and humanities’ contribution to health professional wellness and create opportunities for growth and development
Elevate the voices of people with lived experience and build bridges between patients, the health care system and different culture

Professional identity formation is complex: Navigating our various identities affects our personal health, wellbeing, and our relationships with colleagues and those we care for. The arts and humanities (including indigenous ways of knowing, history, literature, poetry, theater, the performing arts, audio and video recordings and the visual arts) are often woven into the teaching, learning, development and practice of health professions. These holistic, integrated approaches deliver better outcomes for patients and their communities. They help clinicians develop insight, reduce burnout and compassion fatigue by making sense of their experiences not only as clinicians but also as learners and members of inter-disciplinary teams.
This exploration of identity and lived experience engenders culturally responsive, safe, healthcare settings, lowers barriers to care, and promotes empathy, communication skills and perspective-taking. Sharing voices and perspectives through the arts and humanities leads to advocacy for social and cultural change.
“Identity”, the theme of this year’s conference of the Canadian Association of Health Humanities, is foundational to health and wellbeing. This conference is the opportunity to creatively share how the arts and humanities improve healthcare and health professional education. And it will highlight opportunities to explore how notions of personal, professional or team identities can facilitate growth or change.
