This two-part training is designed for all academic and staff leaders who are interested in exploring how well they are expressing themselves as inclusive leaders. Whether or not you formally supervise teams, you will walk away with ideas for communicating and expressing your values in an inclusive way.

Pre-Work
Prior to the first session, you will be asked to complete an assignment to help identify your values and how those values have been shaped by your personal and professional experiences. Completing this assignment prior to the first session will prepare you for the group discussions and allow you to have more robust conversations with your peers.
