Reflections on Day 1
Session 2: Treading New Ground, Together
In today’s increasingly diverse workforce, our potential to innovate is greater than ever before. Yet in taking one another and our organizations forward in new ways, the differences in our instincts for action can often cause frictions that derail progress. How can we turn this dynamic around, creating value not despite our differences, but with them? Harnessing insights from behavioral science and the art of improvisation, participants in this interactive and engaging session will develop skills for creating the psychological safety and positive-sum thinking called for in every inclusive workplace.
Session 3: Executive Presence - Lead with Clarity and Confidence Across the Enterprise
We are often advised that developing and displaying executive presence is an important ingredient for growing leaders, particularly when navigating up and across an organization’s senior-most hierarchy. But what exactly constitutes the seemingly elusive “executive presence?” This session will explore several dimensions of executive presence, including Character, Substance, and Style and further investigate subsets under each of those dimensions. Participants will take the Interpersonal Attitude Survey to assess a range of communication styles, and through interactive exercises, learn how to communicate with greater clarity and confidence – no matter the audience or professional setting.
