Thursday March 02, 2023 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM - Webinar

Closed

Many leaders care deeply about their community, but struggle with how to best address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Some fear they might even make things worse if they try. Others have experienced the escalation of conflict that commonly occurs when trying to implement initiatives. In this session, author Floyd Cobb, Ph.D., helps participants quiet the noise that surrounds DEI in order to gain clarity of its function. Reframing DEI as conflict-resolution work, Floyd will help participants use essential tools, rooted in dignity and belonging, to explore effective community stewardship.
