Educational Leadership Development - Crafting your Unique Value Proposition: Towards understanding your contribution (Fellow and 神马福利影片 only)
There is a place in the world where only you stand, the unique intersection of your personal history, experiences, perspectives and hopes. Nilofer Merchant conceptualises this a 'onlyness'. This uniqueness can bring fresh insights and enables contributions no one else can make. In this session you will be invited to follow a process to develop a Unique Value Proposition (UVP), starting with thinking about your 'onlyness'. A UVP sets out to articulate what it is you bring to your work, to students, to colleagues and to the institution. Understanding and expressing this can be invaluable in professional recognition and promotion applications. It can also help reveal what it is that you value - this might include things which are hard to measure like kindness or empathy. It may help you to unearth opportunities and tensions that arise when your values differ from those around you or those of the institution. Bring a laptop, an openness to different ways of thinking and a willingness to interact with CoPilot. The aim is to have a draft UVP by the end of the session (sharing is optional) and greater confidence to communicate the contribution only you can make.
You will be invited to take part in a series of activities designed to help you to identify and author your 'unique value proposition'. Crafting such a statement can help you to understand your contribution, develop your leadership identity and serve as useful material in professional recognition applications.
