This two-week eResidency is designed to allow for deep exploration of leadership themes and sub-themes. While workshop sessions are only scheduled for half-days and are broken up with outdoor nature-based tasks, the two-weeks can be intense. We recommend you try to lighten your workload and assign colleagues or staff to deal with emerging issues. During workshops, we recommend you disconnect from work to the greatest degree possible.

The rough schedule for the two-week eResidency is provided for scheduling purposes.

Lesson Three, Task Two: Prepare to attend eResidency

The eResidency sessions are online, held on the WebEx online learning platform. Links will be provided prior to the first session. To join, you will need a stable internet connection, microphone and webcam, and a quiet location.

For nature breaks, you will be encouraged to find a natural location that you can visit within 30 minutes within the COVID-19 guidelines in your area. Please be prepared with appropriate weather gear and mask.

Work with program facilitator to prepare a six-minute presentation that clearly expresses a challenge or opportunity related to park leadership in general — or to the sub-theme of climate change – in your organization from your point of view. Presentation should identify the situation, barriers and opportunities, and your role in addressing it.

You will deliver the Presentation on days two and three of the eResidency. You may present in English or French.

The format is based on the PechaKucha 20×20 style developed by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham architecture. PechaKucha talks are 20 slides that automatically play for 20 seconds each, for a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds (400 seconds!). These constraints exist to focus on exposing people to an idea and generating a conversation, rather than providing all the details and context of a situation. Examples are provided below.

Examples of PechaKucha talks (English and French) are available on the PechKucha site

Congratulations on being selected for the 2021 Canadian Parks Collective for Innovation and Leadership Park Leaders Development Program! In this program, you will apply transformative leadership to complex park leadership issues and co-create a supportive pan-Canadian leadership community across jurisdictions.

We appreciate that this program may feel like extra work in your already busy lives, especially during COVID-19. We encourage you to integrate the program as much as possible by linking tasks with your existing workload. For example, we encourage participants to choose presentation topics and solo leadership reflections that can help you explore or advance a current project. This can not only save time, it means your colleagues can benefit from your experience.

If at any time you feel overwhelmed with your involvement in the program, please contact the facilitator, Dr. Don Carruthers Den Hoed, at don.cdh@ubc.ca or 604-612-7557
