Leadership in Practice: Strengthening How You Lead, presented by LCCN

LCCN invites you to elevate your leadership skills with practical tips and real-world advice to lead your child care team into the future. Designed for Executive Directors, owners/operators and senior managers of licensed child care centres, this two-part leadership experience** gives you dedicated space to step back, focus on how you lead, and build your capacity to navigate the decisions and pressures leadership brings. Leading in licensed child care is uniquely demanding — balancing children and families, supporting staff, managing operations, and adapting to shifting priorities, often all at once. This program meets that reality with practical, applicable tools, not one-size-fits-all theory. You'll explore how you think, communicate and respond under pressure, work through real leadership situations, and connect with other leaders who understand the sector. You'll leave with greater clarity, tools you can use immediately, and a personalized leadership and wellness plan to support you over time. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH • A clearer understanding of how you think, communicate and respond under pressure • Practical tools for navigating decisions, conversations and competing demands • A personalized leadership and wellness plan you can use right away • Connection with fellow leaders who understand the realities of the sector SPACES ARE LIMITED This is the first time LCCN has offered an experience like this — reserve your seat by Friday, September 18, 2026 before it fills.
