​What are your leadership derailers, the things that take you off track and inhibit your leadership effectiveness?
​
Too often, we focus on what to do as leaders, and we neglect the things we need to stop doing, the things that get us into trouble. In this interactive online session, we invite you to assess your own leadership derailers and have rich discussions about them in small groups.

Discovering the Who: Culture Insights for Leaders
by Anne Hunnex

March 30, 2022

Culture is all around us.
Life in an organization is no different.

The culture of an organization defines ‘who’ the organization is, internally and externally. What do the current mission and values statements say? Who do we think we are? How do we work together? Who are we really? Who do others think we are?
​

In this session, Anne Hunnex described the significant impacts of culture on any type of organization. As leaders, we have the most influence and responsibility for creating intentional culture change to make our workplaces more productive and humane.

Leading Below the Surface:
Embodying the Type of Leadership that the
World Desperately Needs

September 22, 2021; 12:00 - 1:00pm ET

LaTonya Wilkins, 
MBA, ICF ACC


In this interactive session, LaTonya discussed the three prongs of the leading below the surface approach (REAL Leadership, empathy, psychological safety). She presented how to embody the approach, and why the world desperately needs below the surface leadership. During this session there was time for participants to practice embodiment in small groups to gain first hand knowledge to apply in their world.

Founder of The Change Coaches, LaTonya Wilkins partners with executives, upwardly mobile professionals, and teams to build cultures of belonging through highly customized coaching and consulting services. She is a sought-after keynote speaker and has inspired audiences all over the world. She built her career working in HR, talent management and learning & development at Fortune 500 companies before teaching and taking on progressive leadership roles at the University of Illinois’ Gies College of Business. LaTonya is currently the President of the True Star Youth Foundation board. She gained industry recognition when she was featured on the peer-nominated list of most inclusive HR influencers in 2019. 

LaTonya developed her signature concept of Below the Surface Leadership based on her own experience climbing the corporate ladder and researching across disciplines while constantly being the “only one” on her teams. This revolutionary approach to leadership is about creating psychologically safe relationships across differences, empowering underrepresented employees to feel valued, heard, and engaged, and creating cultures of belonging in the workplace.

On May 19th, Renee Moorefield, a genuine optimist, facilitated a discussion addressing some of the dark sides of the Covid experience. Instead of a traditional webinar format, she will lead us in exploring the questions and concerns we still have about dealing with the changes and challenges that the pandemic has brought us. And, she explored her perspectives about helping leaders and organizations use this opportunity to create work environments where people thrive. There was amazing wisdom in the Leadership Forum Community that was shared in this nonstop dialogue.
