Fast Company: “[I]t was refreshing to spend a weekend of personal and professional development at the Banff Centre in the province of Alberta. The Banff Centre has pioneered a unique approach to leadership development. Taking advantage of its spectacular location in the Canadian Rockies, leadership development at Banff begins with a sense of place. Adding to that sense of place is the infusion of arts and culture.” — John Baldoni
Globe and Mail — September 30, 2005. From the Globe’s 2005 Executive Education Guide:
The Banff Centre: Go here if you’d like leadership training that takes cues from the arts. In an unexpected bit of synergy, the Banff Centre’s well-known slate of arts workshops profoundly influences its leadership teachings. While many of the Centre’s courses employ such standard tools as 360-degree assessments and Myers-Briggs questionnaires, Banff’s artists-in-residence often facilitate programs to inject a non-biz perspective. The Art of the Executive Leader, for example, brings in actors and theatre directors to coach managers on how to exude an appropriately patrician air.
Canadian Heritage— April 11, 2005 The federal government announced $104,746 in funding for two projects which will serve Aboriginal women in Alberta. The Banff Centre for Continuing Education will receive $50,000 for the second annual Indigenous Women in Leadership Forum. The week-long event will offer participants practical experience in the areas of facilitation and team-building to help them develop strategies for financial self-reliance.
