Workplace Culture: Tackling Uncomfortable Conversations

60 min. duration

Description

We must challenge ourselves to nudge a toe over the line between comfort and discomfort to create positive change. Let’s chat about the ways in which sharing vulnerability creates trust and leads to better employee engagement and retention.
We’ll work as a group to identify strategies to use in prickly situations, helping to boost confidence and help participants feel more equipped to be a workplace equity champion.

2. Reframe vulnerability as a solution, opposed to a weakness
