16/06 12:30pm-2:30pm: Educational Leadership Development - Crafting your Unique Value Proposition: Towards understanding your contribution (Fellow and Alumni only)

Lisa Drummond — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:42:38 GMT

When: 12:30pm - 2:30pm, Tue, 16 Jun '26

Where: Creative Community Place

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.

This event is open to fellow and alumni only. If you would like to attend and haven't received a calendar invite please contact wihea@warwick.ac.uk

When: 10am - 12:30pm, Thu, 02 Jul '26

Where: Ramphal Building

Getting involved with public engagement is a fantastic opportunity for students. The skills they learn and the opportunities engaged teaching offers them set them up for careers inside and outside of academia. Across 91�� there are dozens of examples of modules/ lessons being created that either focus on teaching students about public engagement, or use engaged methods to teach students about a wide variety of topics. Everything from encouraging students to develop hands on activities, podcasts, or videos to explain a topic to a lay audience, up to building collaborative partnerships between students and communities.

This workshop will build on work done by the Public and Community Engagement Pedagogies Learning Circle to curate a handbook of examples of these engaged pedagogies (methods of teaching). If you're interested in exploring how you could create something like this in your teaching this session is a great opportunity to hear about practice from across 91�� and spend time considering the detailed practicalities - for example how might you assess this type of work, and are there any ethical considerations you need to think about? You'll be supported to design your own solution and receive peer feedback or your design.
