Leadership is not just about managing people. It is about understanding yourself, communicating well, and learning how to work through conflict with empathy.

In UBC’s MEL and MHLP programs, students begin building these skills from orientation week through a professional workshop led by coach and facilitator Tracey Charette.

The workshop helps students develop the confidence, self-awareness, and practical tools needed to navigate difficult conversations, support team dynamics, and lead with accountability.
