Description
One of the fundamental roles of a public servant is to provide their best advice. When points of view conflict, fulfilling this role can sometimes be challenging.
Join us for real accounts of "speaking truth to power" from individuals who have navigated challenging situations in providing their best advice. We will discuss how core public service values can guide us in this endeavour and suggest tips and tools for creating an environment that encourages frank discussion at all levels.
