Developing Yourself and Others - Virtual
Tuesday, October 15, 2024 |  1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Research tells us employee engagement is the primary enabler of the successful execution of organizational strategy, and no one impacts the state of engagement and retention more than an employee’s immediate leader. This module provides leaders with a model for determining what drives an individual’s engagement as well as methods for proactively engaging and retaining talent. Leaders will learn how to conduct engagement and retention conversations and explore ways to recognize people, using no-cost everyday methods to create an engaging environment. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

Inclusive Leadership: Part 1 - In-Person
Monday, October 28, 2024 |  9:30 AM - 12:00 PM
What do we need to know about ourselves in order to interact thoughtfully, sensitively, and effectively as leaders? Our various and intersecting social identities based on race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, class, religion, age, nationality, and disability, shape our cultural orientations, perspectives, and behaviors. Thus, awareness of these social identities and the ways they have shaped our socialization experiences as well as our position within the social, historical, and political landscape in relation to systems of inequality, is crucial to becoming an effective leader.In this 3 part series participants will have the opportunity to closely examine their own lived experiences within the context of a researched inclusive leadership model. Participants will explore the characteristics necessary to be an effective leader of diverse teams while engaging concepts of power and privilege applied through a personal lens. The relationships between participants’ own social identities, privileges and disadvantages, and how these experiences ultimately contribute to their own leadership traits will be the focus of the dialogue throughout the program. This series is meant to support leaders in building confidence, skills, and appreciation for interacting across differences broadly. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

Through engaging readings and interactive activities, participants will have the unique opportunity to closely examine their own social identities within systems of oppression and empowerment. Additionally, participants will explore the concepts of power and privilege in the context of leadership, and examine how their social identities bring both unearned privilege and unearned disadvantage. As participants develop a more sophisticated understanding of their own identities, they will have greater insight into how to work effectively with those from different backgrounds and how to address conflict within diverse groups. Participants will examine what it means to be culturally confident and begin to apply their cultural confidence in the workplace.
