Emotional labor is the ability to manage one’s emotions to affect the way others feel. This presentation will introduce the theoretical concept of emotional labor before exploring how and why it is a key leadership skill that is vital in developing high performing teams, emotional resilience and an ability to influence. However, having the ability to perform emotional labour, or the lack thereof, can be difficult, damaging and dangerous. Drawing on examples and research from a range of sectors and experience of managing in a variety of business school contexts across the UK, they will also take a critical look at both the importance but also the dark side of emotional labor.

The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) began programming in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 2013 with the understanding that improving the conditions for women’s economic empowerment in PNG requires a supportive ecosystem of interconnected institutions that possess both the gender lens to identify the unequal barriers faced by women and the commitment to proactively democratizing opportunities for all. Through ongoing partnerships with the Australian and U.S. governments, CIPE is implementing a cutting-edge women’s economic empowerment program in a country where women face daunting obstacles. To help create a broader “entrepreneurial ecosystem,” CIPE is operating the Women’s Business Resource Centre (WBRC) in Port Moresby, working with PNG universities to integrate entrepreneurship into formal curriculum, and providing technical assistance and advocacy trainings to women’s business organizations.

To support the CIPE PNG Grant Program, GBSN is organizing a workshop that includes three interactive modules designed to explore mini-case studies completed by GBSN based on the work of its member schools that are relevant to the small grant projects of Papua New Guinea schools.

Development Workshop

Three interactive modules will be tailored to illustrate cases with reference to the small grant project offered by the CIPE team to its partners. Each of the mini-case studies will serve as examples from GBSN Member schools of entrepreneurship related programs or activities that are relevant to the PNG projects. The mini-case studies will be provided to workshop participants. GBSN CEO, Dan LeClair will facilitate three interactive modules within a larger workshop umbrella. Each module will feature 1-2 guest speakers representing one of the mini-case examples. The length of each module will be between 60 and 75 minutes.

The three modules will have the following themes:

1. Generating interest and helping students to build ideas/concepts and make pitches (including basics of a pitch competition)
2. Helping students to convert ideas/concepts to viable business plans (education modules, mentoring and basics of a business plan competition)
3. Helping students go to market / move from plans to implementation (registering your business, business incubation, mentoring, and funding connections)

COVID-19 has created an opportunity for learning—about how we work, what we need and how we can work better. Every business school can act now to capture insights in the form of new curriculum content for the future we are building. Let’s translate current experiences into the lessons for sustainable development. 

Now is the time to work on creating better working conditions, work place culture and better work experiences. Join this Collab as we explore questions like: how can we improve work, workplaces, leadership and cultural approaches?  What will the leaders, culture and the workplace need to offer? How do we upskill, collaborate, and innovate across sectors with a need so urgent and vast? How are universities, businesses, and governments preparing for a new age of lifelong learning?

The conversation will be lead by Jeanne C. Meister, Founding Partner of Future Workplace, an HR Advisory and Research firm dedicated to educating HR leaders on what’s next in preparing for the future workforce and workplace.

Members are invited to join whichever session is more convenient.

What are Cross-Border Collabs?

Cross-Border Collabs are exclusive gatherings for GBSN members, focused on engaging our community to tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time. Facilitated by topic experts, these session will provide a place for our members be active participants in our mission of improving management and entrepreneurship education for the developing world. Collabs are held monthly on every first Thursday of the month. Two sessions are offered to accommodate multiple time zones. Collabs are an exclusive opportunity for member school ambassadors, deans and leading faculty members.

In order to efficiently groom future generations to the realities of tomorrow, we need to give significantly more weight to teaching methods. Pedagogy has been an outsider to the system for way too long. It has been put aside over the years, resulting in professors relying mostly on the top down lectures, during which students are more inclined to stay passive recipients of knowledge rather than active participants.

This Cross-Border Collab will explore innovations in pedagogy. GBSN’s CEO, Dan LeClair recently participated as a Judge for LearnSpace‘s call for business education innovations. Through its call for nominations, LearnSpace was looking for world-class pedagogical innovations in business schools globally. Its initiative aims to uncover innovative pedagogical approaches, understand how they are being implemented in business schools and publish a public and global report showcasing 10 of them.

By pedagogical innovation, LearnSpace means:

The usage of a tool or method that provides a change in the professor’s posture, who would be more focused on empowering students, making them more committed, engaged and responsible for their own learning. At the heart of pedagogical innovation lies the shift from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning.

The report will be published on June 1st, which is just in time for this June 3rd Cross-Border Collab. We will explore the LearnSpace report, hearing directly from Svenia Busson, Founder of LearnSpace, Co-founder EdtechTours, European Edtech Alliance and Author ‘Exploring the Future of Education.’

In addition, GBSN members will break into small groups of 3-4. These small groups will provide a space for members to share teaching / pedagogical innovations implemented by their institution with each other. Members will share one and leave with 4+ innovations.
