Five Paths to Leadership® Results Debrief Session

Now included in membership! Academic Impressions’ Five Paths to Leadership Assessment has been leveraged in our leadership programs for years. Thousands of leaders in higher ed have benefited from this dynamic model that explores and reveals how one’s leadership styles manifest under normal circumstances—and how they change under stress.  Having a deeper understanding of your own leadership styles in varying situations increases your self-awareness, enhances your emotional quotient, and allows you to more effectively plan, communicate, strategize, and, ultimately, lead.   Join us to learn what your own leadership styles are, how they might change under stress, and how this can apply to your team. Take the assessment prior to attending, and bring your results.   During the workshop, we’ll walk through: 

Career Growth Conversations in Action

Career growth conversations are some of the most underused tools in a supervisor’s toolkit, and in higher ed, where upward mobility is limited and burnout is real, they may be some of the most important. Your Academic Impressions membership gives you everything you need to make them a consistent practice, from the Five Paths Self-Assessment to Sophia, your AI leadership coach.  Knowing what a career growth conversation looks like—and actually being in one—are two very different experiences. In this session, you’ll have the chance to do both. We’ll move through a live career growth conversation together, giving you a firsthand look at how the model feels from both sides of the table. Whether you’re preparing to have these conversations with your team or are just getting started, you’ll leave with the confidence and context to make them real.

Effective Meeting Design Using the Five Paths to Leadership®

Take this opportunity to rethink how your meetings are designed by exploring the hidden expectations and preferences people bring to the table. Using the Five Paths to Leadership® model as a framework, you’ll reflect on your current meeting practices, collaborate in small groups to design your “ideal meeting,” and share insights that highlight different leadership strengths and needs. Together, we’ll surface practical ways to make your meetings more inclusive, engaging, and productive.

The Five Paths and the Sage

The Sage path in The Five Paths to Leadership® is fundamentally about integration and balance—it’s the practice that helps you to access all the other paths with intention and wisdom. This session will expand upon your knowledge of how the Sage helps with self-awareness, reflection, and adaptive leadership, transforming the shadow into wisdom and leading under pressure.

Using the Five Paths to Leadership® to Deliver Feedback That Motivates 

You probably already know that giving feedback to your colleagues is a beneficial thing to do. But it’s also one of the trickiest things to get right. How many times have you delivered feedback to one colleague and it goes well, and then you deliver feedback to someone else, and it goes awry? The truth is, you cannot use a cookie-cutter approach to giving feedback. The way you communicate feedback needs to be tailored to the person receiving it, so that you can motivate them to put the feedback into action. Join us to explore how you can use the Five Paths to Leadership® model to adapt the way you communicate feedback so that it really resonates with the person receiving it. 

Supervising Varied Voices

Leading a team with varied backgrounds offers an opportunity to avoid ‘groupthink’ and foster innovation, but we must also be honest about the friction it can cause. In this session, we’ll discuss how to address the challenges posed by varied backgrounds and cultural norms so that we can fully leverage the unique perspectives each of your direct reports brings to the table.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Connecting with Your Employees: Practicing Coaching and Engagement 

Too often, we equate supervision with ‘fixing problems,’ but in this session, we’re shifting our focus to ‘developing people.’ We’re going to practice specific coaching techniques that move us from simply directing work, to asking the right questions—the kind that build engagement, trust, and drive long-term productivity.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Getting Comfortable with Uncomfortable Supervisory Conversations

Having difficult conversations is unavoidable—it’s also vital to being an effective supervisor. This session is designed to give you practical tools and boost your confidence, ensuring that you can approach these moments with clarity and composure, and leading to better outcomes for both your direct reports and the entire organization.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.
