Wholehearted Excellence: From surviving to thriving in leadership, teams, and families
Polarity management is a problem solving tool that can be used any time there is pressure to choose between two apparently opposing values. It allows us to move from either/or to both/and while finding synergies and paths to collaboration. This simple workshop pulls apart the dichotomy of work/life balance to propose a path towards high performance teams that operate from a place of wholeheartedness and joy.
Biography:
Dr. Kresta joined the University of Saskatchewan on January 1, 2018 as Dean of the College of Engineering after 26 years at the University of Alberta. She holds a BSc from the University of New Brunswick (UNB, 1986), an MSc in Integrated Design of Chemical Plants from the University of Leeds (UK), and a PhD from McMaster University (1992). Over her career, she has worked in 20 different industrial sectors on turbulent, multiphase mixing problems ranging from drinking water to metal extraction. Several companies have been valued collaborators for over twenty years. Students who have graduated from her research group hold academic positions across Canada and in Europe, and she treasures close relationships with a number of her former undergraduates who are also academics.
She has been recognized with a number of national and international awards for her research, teaching, and leadership,. She is a co-editor of the Handbook of Industrial Mixing (2005), and chief editor of Advances in Industrial Mixing (2015).
