Innovative Learning invites Humber faculty and staff to our annual SHOWCASE event, celebrating teaching and learning innovations.

Join us for this full day conference that begins with a presentation featuring our Innovation of the Year Award recipients, followed by a keynote address by Dane Jensen, acclaimed speaker and author. The day also includes concurrent sessions, lunch, exhibits, poster sessions and a closing reception that provide the Humber community with an opportunity to network with colleagues and win great prizes, including a signed copy of Dane Jensen’s book, “The Power of Pressure.”

This year’s SHOWCASE theme, Building Brilliance, encourages us to rethink and enhance the way we teach, collaborate, and create meaningful change in education. Humber is responding in creative and purposeful ways—accelerating innovation, enhancing efficiency, and equipping learners with the skills needed to drive economic and social progress.

Dane Jensen is an acclaimed speaker, media commentator, educator and author.

He is a top-rated instructor at Queen’s University in Canada and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has contributed to the development of thousands of leaders in companies of all sizes through his company Third Factor.

Dane works extensively with coaches, athletes, leaders, and Boards throughout the Olympic and Paralympic sport system to enhanced competitiveness.

Dane’s book, The Power of Pressure: Why Pressure Isn’t The Problem, It’s The Solution, was called “the best book I’ve read on pressure and performance” by championship-winning NBA head coach, Nick Nurse.
