This session will help you strategize your growth trajectory by outlining the essentials of a developmental orientation during your program.
Our focus will be to support you in identifying the biases and blind spots that commonly impede development, and implementing the practices that will help you leverage them for personal growth. By uncovering the gains to be made from a developmental approach, the session will leave you with the tools needed to optimize your learning and enhance your experience at Rotman.

• Participants: up to 60 students
Participants receive individualized feedback on their interactions with teammates during a real-time (in-person or online) group problem-solving session. The focus is on what interactions communicate implicitly about us and our approach to professional relationships. In the session, we explore how different ways of interacting can interfere with collaborative work. Through detailed analysis of the video-recordings of the interactions with teammates, participants will learn about how they manage the complex and often hidden interpersonal dynamics involved in collaborative work. They will leave the session with a framework to help them map and manage interpersonal complexity for the purpose of improved relationships and team performance.
• Duration: 1H
• Participants: A team (3-5 students)
