Lead Across Differences PROGRAM DETAILS
Lead Across
Differences is:
- A forum to learn how to approach and address hot-button issues and lead groups effectively through difficult conversations.
- A supportive practice-based environment to fumble and be yourself.
- A place to minimize frustrations in multi-generational settings.
- A pathway to empower respectful dialogue to foster inclusivity, community belonging, and civic engagement.
Lead Across Differences is a masterclass in communication skills which are helpful in navigating today’s personal, work and political environments.
Differences, much like humans, are not always at the extremes. It can be in between, more nuanced and complex, much like humans. I appreciate this class.
Leadership Austin always delivers on bringing people together and opening our eyes.
It felt so good to be learning skills and tools for having tough but productive conversations. We need more of this kind of learning in our lives if we’re going to move beyond polarization.
