Mark your calendar for April 16th — our Engage series is returning to Ottawa.

We hope you can join us for light fare and a compelling conversation led by Julian Barling, Professor and Borden Chair of Leadership at Smith School of Business

This panel discussion on How to Improve Your Mental Health to Avoid Burnout & Lead More Effectively will explore the often-overlooked psychological demands of leadership, drawing on themes from Julian’s latest book, . Together, our panelists will delve into:

  • The hidden mental and emotional costs leaders face today
  • How leaders cope with pressure, ambiguity, and expectation
  • What organizations can do to better support the well‑being of their leaders
  • Practical tools leaders can use to sustain performance without burning out

Joining Julian on the panel are Jason Tasse, MBA’11 and Fatima Kanji, Partner at Deloitte. The conversation will be moderated by Gillian Smith, Artsci’96, Executive Director, Office of the Chair at Deloitte Canada & Chile.

Sponsored by Deloitte, this special event brings together Smith alumni and prospective students for an opportunity to expand your network and gain meaningful insight into the realities of modern leadership.
