QuestionShip: Immersive In-Person Training for Executives and Managers

Immerse yourself in QuestionShip: a powerful new training experience

QuestionShip is a leadership simulation designed to hone your insights and executive capabilities. It is hands-on, strategic, and in-person. 

This is a different kind of training event. There will be no slide presentations, panels, tidy frameworks, or simple answers. We won't try to squeeze your personality or leadership style into a box. We'll start where some training finishes. 

At its core, QuestionShip is a demanding and energizing flight simulator for leaders and management teams.  With peers at your side, you will contend with intricate scenarios at different levels of action and urgency. All are set in the same messy, difficult, richly imagined world. You’ll encounter problems and themes that underlie the toughest parts of your job. Together, you’ll grapple with an organization’s complicated past, make decisions in its disrupted present, and open paths into its uncertain future.                                                                                                                                           

Join us in the Mother Earth Room of the Native Women’s Association of Canada building on August 27, 2024, from 9 am through 4 pm. Refreshments and lunch are included. Paid parking is available close by. The location is accessible to public transportation from either side of the Kitchi Zibi/Ottawa River.
