Effective Leadership is Inclusive Leadership: A Series
Online | April 8, 2025 9:00 am ET - August 28, 2025 11:00 am ET
Together we can shape, support, and sustain a culture of inclusion and belonging
Event Information
Rather than looking to one engagement for a singular solution, this series provides a multi-pronged approach that would embrace a five-month commitment to both inclusion and leadership development for leaders across multiple units. While inclusive leadership content traditionally focuses on bias, education, and various interventions, our unique approach integrates the dimension of leadership development. This method has the benefit of helping all attendees connect the human element of inclusivity with practical elements of outcomes, fairness, and professionalism. This combination elevates the work of changing hearts and minds with the addition of meaningful understandings of individual impact and influence on systems.
The Academic Impressions inclusive leadership framework effectively aligns to the Mayo Clinic Values:
- Institutional primary value: The needs of the patient come first.
- Core values: Respect, integrity, compassion, healing, teamwork, innovation, excellence and stewardship.
- Values-driven culture.

Kick Off
April 8, 9, 22, or 23, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Session 1: Difficult Conversations are Necessary, not Unkind
May 6 or 7, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time
For years, there has been an increasingly dominant narrative in our society about the importance of being kind or “politically correct.” While these are important principles, we must nevertheless unpack and examine how this narrative often gets in the way of difficult yet essential conversations about race and racial inequity. The truth is, if we are unwilling to engage with well-intentioned or well-meaning colleagues in critical conversations when bias appears, we are therefore consciously allowing for ignorance and harm to perpetuate. This means that conversations like these are not only critical, but also necessary for healing ourselves as individuals and as a collective.
Supplemental video: Please watch this video on difficult conversations before the Facilitated Processing Session on May 21 or May 28 (Depending on which day you signed up for)
Session 1 Facilitated Processing Session
May 21 or 28, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time
Session 2: Cultural Humility and Cultural Competency
June 3 or 4, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time
Supplemental Video: Please watch this supplemental video before the Facilitated Processing Session on June 24 or 26.
“Cultural Humility and Cultural Competency” is an interactive training designed for healthcare professionals to explore the critical relationship between cultural competence and cultural humility in patient care. Participants will reflect on their own identities, biases, and the impact of systemic inequities while learning practical tools to foster respectful communication and inclusive service. This session highlights the importance of empathy, ongoing self-reflection, and equity in creating welcoming environments for patients and colleagues alike.
Session 2 Facilitated Processing Session
June 24 or 26, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time
Session 3: Conflict Resolution: It’s What You Said AND How You Said It
July 1 or 10, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time
This session will help you to identify the root source of your discomfort and understand why a wide range of emotions in such moments is natural. We will examine historic and current roadblocks to true connection, barriers that can lead to distrust, and how we engage unconsciously with individuals based on their visible or assumed social identities. We will also explore how racial power dynamics influence everyday interactions and identify ways to challenge entrenched norms that influence how we choose to communicate and engage with each other.
Session 3 Facilitated Processing Session
July 29 or 31, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time
Session 4: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable: Engaging in Courageous Conversations About Freedom, Favoritism, and Fairness
August 5 or 7, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time
Even those who have done extensive reading on topics related to conflict management can find themselves fumbling if they haven’t yet reflected on how their personal feelings may impact the ways they show up in the world—and in these difficult conversations. To get more comfortable engaging in these dialogues, we must first lean into the discomfort of individual reflection and actions that prepare us to enter into them in an open and effective way.
Join us for a two-hour virtual training where we will explore four key concepts and how they come into play during conversations around topics that are deeply personal:
- Identifying favoritism
- Understanding personal perspectives
- Managing emotions
- Focusing on fairness
You will be given a workbook of activities, tools, and resources to help you move beyond simply understanding these key concepts. Throughout the workshop, you will begin the hard work of interpreting how favoritism can show up in every aspect of the work we do, and how an orientation around fairness improves relationships, morale, and trust.
Session 4 Facilitated Processing Session
August 26 or 28, 2025 | 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time
