Working with Humans: Diversity, Collaboration and Leadership @ Work

Wednesday, December 3rd (1:00 – 4:00pm)

Working with Humans is not like the other workshops that you have been to. This one is relevant. This one is actionable. This one will change how you view diversity and your relationships with the people around you. It is a good, valuable workshop and it is a great value. It approaches Diversity and Collaboration as issues of leadership…because that, rather than tolerance or respect, is what they are about. It is packed full of information and tools that you can use. In today’s world, whether you are in the for-profit or non-profit sector, healthcare, education or government, Diversity and Collaboration are increasingly becoming critical ingredients for success…here are some reasons why.

This is the last time this workshop will be offered this year, so sign up today! Sign your co-workers up. Sign your boss up. Sign your friends and enemies up. Just sign up. You will be happy that you did.

Not sure? Here are 10 reasons why you should find a way to be at this workshop:

1. Diversity, Inclusion and Collaboration are now more important than they every have been. They are, to a large degree, the new competitive advantage.
2. The demographics of the workforce are changing…the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that by the end of this calendar year 70% of new entrants into the workforce will be women and People of Color. If you are not good at attracting, engaging and retaining women and People of Color you are going to be competing for relatively small portion of the talent available.
3. We are on the front end of an unprecedented generational transition, that could mess a lot of things up and at the very least is going to drive an increase in leadership and cultural volatility.
4. You have been misinformed about what diversity really is and what it really means for our work and our organizations.
5. I will make you laugh…at least once.
6. The price is right.
7. You will leave with multiple tools that you can both use and easily share with others.
8. You and your organization need this information. You need it to be successful. You need it to survive. This stuff is no longer optional.
9. You will get out of the office for an afternoon.
10. You will get to see how down right charming I am in person.
