As we look to build more hopeful, equitable workplace, the ability to connect with those who think, believe, or look differently, becomes increasingly vital in order for us to embody active, guiding roles as members of our global community.

This workshop will seek to provide a space for participants to deepen their listening skills, invite a greater awareness of self and others, and explore foundational experiences surrounding race, gender, sexual identity, and capability/mobility.
