Wednesday, April 5 - Ethical Challenges in the Workplace
Ethical decisions may be trickier than we think. First, engaging leaders must demonstrate both fairness and compassion. Sometimes, these two critical demands clash. Second, leaders may feel closer to some employees than to others. Proximity tends to change the way we reason about ethical decisions. The presenter will share the results of a study involving more than 1,000 professionals, suggest the implications of her findings, and offer recommendations for leaders.

Wednesday, June 7 - First do no Harm! Effective Intercultural Practices
A critical medical tenet is “First do no harm.” When Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives ignore a group’s level of intercultural development, they could increase fear and prejudice and exacerbate in-group / out-group separation. In this thought-provoking presentation, the speaker addresses the problem and proposes solutions. Specifically, she shares a model of intercultural development, connects interventions to employees’ development stage, offers realistic and helpful tips, and introduces Conversity®, a simple and effective process to increase acceptance and respect in your organization. This program can be run as a shorter keynote or as a four-hour workshop.
