About GLO: Skills Sessions
While GLO Skills modules can still be accessed via eClass, we're bringing them back to campus with in person sessions as well! Hosting sessions twice a month, we hope to bring a wider variety of topics to meet the diverse needs of Student Groups. While the target audiences are students in leadership roles in their clubs, all students are welcome at these sessions. Check out our schedule for more information about sessions this semester.

Past Sessions
Project Management by the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Centre

In this session, we'll define what a project is, identify the five levels of building a project (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, closure); what happens when a project goes wrong and how to avoid this; common pitfalls for all five stages of building a project and tools you can use to avoid them!
Collaboration and Conflict by Student Group Services

This session will introduce the "Six Thinking Hats" model to help your team in the brainstorming and decision-making stages of your student group. Participants will learn the model and how to employ it when making plans and decisions with their groups. This session will also provide participants with tangible skills for managing conflicts and disagreements in their student group. Learn how to have difficult conversations and how conflict can make your club stronger!
