Skills Building for Courageous Conversations with Marquita James, Conflict Resolution Practitioner
March 8, 2023 | 1:00 - 3:00 PM EST
Workshop Description:
As a badass social change leader, you've probably already seen the many ways courageous conversations--and their absence-- can impact your organization, your movement, your colleagues-- and you, dear one. In this two part skill-building workshop series, we'll delve into some strategies for how to manage how we show up more courageously in our organizations and how you as a leader can begin laying the groundwork for building a more courageous organization. You'll have an opportunity to workshop a specific conflict that matters to you in a supportive environment as we lovingly examine both our organizations and ourselves. You'll leave with greater clarity about where your strengths lie with having more courageous conversations and deeper awareness of where you would like to grow.
