Join the Summit Journey
During 2020 and 2021 so many things have changed about our work environments, educational systems, social interactions, and our awareness of injustices. Moving forward in 2021 and beyond leaders will need to be conscious of how to repair what has been lost and look for how to rebuild the future of our social and work environments in a way that is more human and more productive.
We invite you to join us on a Leadership Journey
- Learn - Increase your consciousness about the multi-faceted impact the past year has had on our lives and the lives of those around us. There are lessons to be learned through experiences and stories that inform us how to find a new and different path forward. As leaders, we are called to utilize these new realizations, tools, and techniques to create a vision and start the journey of repair and transformation.
- Experience - Discover a supportive community while developing empathetic understanding that will empower us with the hope and strength we need on this leadership journey. We acknowledge that we will experience discomfort with the scope and speed of change that is created by the urgency to act and rebuild. It is through connection and community that we can value the past and build for the future.
- Be Inspired - Continue the journey to repair and transform by sharing with your organizations, schools, or communities. By utilizing the knowledge and tools we gain, we can work with a new network of colleagues and lead people toward a hopeful vision that will repair and transform to build a new, more equitable, and sustainable normal.

Key members of the Leadership Lab teams within the Leadership Forum Community start our journey by examining the disruptive events of the past 18 months that define the scope of essential repair.

They have been at the forefront of tackling challenging leadership issues identified last July, such as racism, COVID-19, and courageous conversations. They will start us off on our journey to, not only repair, but to move toward transformation.

Learn about the power of “AND.” Participants leave the session invigorated with a renewed sense of empowerment and hope for a better future in our communities and workplaces. They begin to see the possibilities of the influential roles they can play going forward using a polarity lens. Participants surface their issues of interest, where finding common ground, in spite of differences, can reverse the energy of resistance and polarization.
This session will focus on a case study on Polarity Thinking in the Charleston Illumination Project where the aim was to better society by giving equal voice to citizens, finding common ground for the good of the whole community, and adopting ideas for change embraced by a city police chief and his department in Charleston, SC. With that foundation, you will explore how a polarity lens can be utilized in reducing polarization and increasing willingness for healing and repairing within your organization and communities. The Charleston Illumination Project grew out of the community response to a race motivated mass shooting in a black church in Charleston, SC in 2015. |

Wholly Shift: Changing The Conversation About Leading and Diversity Using Brain Science by Eric Bailey After the murder of George Floyd in the summer of 2020, millions of people around the world are entering into a dialogue about race, racism, and diversity in America. Most understand the importance of dialogue, but many folks may not know where and how to enter into the conversation. Leveraging Harvard Business School research entitled, “Why Diversity Training Doesn’t Work,” we will explore the practical brain science and psychology to navigate this critical conversation. We will create a space where you can begin the process of leading your team and organization into the productive organizational dialogue that fosters healing and a way forward. |
2020 was a year of intense polarization, illumination of social injustices and a global pandemic – in essence, every one of us experienced significant trauma. Individuals and “leaders at all levels” have had to live through, and lead through, unprecedented times. This highly interactive session will leverage information-sharing in a lively interplay among Psychologists and Social Workers who work directly with employers of all sizes. Using a conversational approach, the Anthem team will provide attendees with fundamental knowledge and tools to help them address emotional wellness needs in the workplace.
