The seminar, held over two days, featured Professor Jill Klein of the Melbourne Business School and Melbourne Medical School, University of Melbourne, as the lead facilitator. Participants were guided through practical and reflective sessions that explored resilience in leadership, stress management, learning from mistakes, and adopting a growth mindset to enhance both personal well-being and institutional performance.
Day One, themed Leading with Resilience, set the tone with rich discussions on leadership under pressure, adaptability, and sustaining performance in challenging environments.
