Growing Connection and Collaboration Through Group Process

This professional development series, for ESIT supervisors, invites participants to explore the power of group process as a tool for deepening connection, fostering collaboration, and enhancing reflective practice in team and organizational settings. Through the progression of learning experiences - from foundational concepts to advanced facilitation strategies - participants will gain insight into how intentional group work can support diversity, equity, and inclusion, reduce burnout, and strengthen team effectiveness.
