Reflections, development, and practice network

Reflective practice helps us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and others allowing us to recognise what we do well, how we can apply those skills in other situations and help us to learn from successes and mistakes in the future.

The reflections, development and practice network is an opportunity for you to meet other members of the #WECAN community and to hear different perspectives on similar issues and solutions you may be facing on your leadership journey.

Share your own thoughts and experiences at work and reflect on how to move forward and make change with the support of others including fellow #WECAN participants and the network facilitator, #WECAN delivery lead Kenny Greenough.

As a member of this network you will:

• Learn useful reflective models, methods, and processes

• Understand and develop your own leadership skills, abilities, methods, and practices

• Reflect on your own experiences with the support of others

• Meet fellow #WECAN participants

Sessions

Networks will meet virtually every 6 weeks using MS Teams and you will be sent a link to join in advance.

You only need to sign up via EventBrite once. When you join you will be added to an MS Team where you will be notified of upcoming network sessions, have access to resources to accompany the sessions and be able to continue conversations.

About #WECAN

#WECAN is a three year £1.7 million project part funded by the European Social Fund. Led by Leeds Beckett University and working with a network of partners including Edge Hill University and Social Enterprise Yorkshire and Humber, the project aims to support the next generation of women leaders in the Leeds City Region by building their leadership skills, capabilities and opportunities.

European Social Fund

The project has a budget of £1.7m over three years, partly funded by partners and partly from the European Social Fund as part of the 2014-2020 European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme in England. The Department for Work and Pensions (and in London the intermediate body Greater London Authority) is the Managing Authority for the England European Social Fund programme. Established by the European Union, the European Social Fund helps local areas stimulate their economic development by investing in projects which will support skills development, employment and job creation, social inclusion and local community regenerations.
