No doubt, the “hot topic” in human resources today is DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion).
Research has proven that strong DEI programs foster healthy organizational culture and have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line through increased productivity and profitability, talent acquisition, employee retention, and improvements in creativity and innovation. This workshop examines the role leadership plays in addressing issues of diversity and equity. Topics may include social equity, power dynamics, and social justice. It also aims to frame a personal philosophy of DEI along with an action plan that leads to transforming an organization into one that is equitable, respectful, and responsive to diversity.

Do you have a “one-size-fits-all” approach to leadership? If so, this workshop offers insight into the concept of self-leadership and will provide opportunities to explore your personal values, purpose, and default leadership style. You will explore your strengths and develop strategies for personal growth. Topics will include emotional intelligence, situational leadership, and transformational leadership. You will also construct your personal mission and vision statements and create an action plan to get you where you want to go.

Participants will reflect on their own communication behaviors and learn strategies for engaging others in crucial conversations and coaching conversations as a means to manage conflict, improve relationships, and build a healthier organizational culture.

This workshop focuses on preventative strategies to manage stress and provides resources to improve mental health.

Modern leadership requires a more connected approach where leaders seek to understand their employees as individuals while addressing individual motivators.
Traditional management theory and practice involves a top-down hierarchical structure where employee motivation is driven by either reward or punishment. Research today demonstrates that money is no longer the top motivator for employee performance. This workshop focuses on leading with heart and learning to engage team members through rapport building and connected leadership.
