Leadership Day 2026
Performance Management & Difficult Conversations for Senior Procurement Leaders
Date: April 28, 2026 | Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM ET | Format: In-person, full day
Location: Mississauga Living Arts Centre | Fee: $299 per person | Audience: Senior procurement leaders with people-management responsibilities
Leadership Day is a focused, in-person professional development experience designed for senior procurement leaders who manage people and lead teams.
This is not an introductory or emerging-leader session. The day centers on the real leadership challenges procurement leaders face—performance management, engagement, feedback, and navigating difficult conversations with confidence and clarity.
Participants will work through practical strategies and frameworks for coaching, delivering clear and empathetic feedback, and handling resistance or defensiveness during tough conversations. The content is grounded in real-world public sector procurement leadership dynamics and is designed to be applied immediately.
Ideal for: managers, senior managers, and directors in procurement who supervise staff and are accountable for team performance and engagement.
Learning approach*: interactive and practical, combining facilitated discussion, peer learning, real-world scenarios, and applied leadership tools (not a lecture-style session).
* Capacity is intentionally limited to support meaningful discussion, reflection, and practical application.
