Five Interpersonal Leadership Skills that AI Can’t Replace (Yet):
In an era of much handwringing about Artificially intelligent (AI) technologies, now is the time to identify and improve the interpersonal skills that distinguish us from the bots. In this 90-minute experiential workshop, management professor and DEI expert, Dr. Mateo Cruz, will discuss five core interpersonal skills inclusive leaders possess. Participants will have the opportunity to practice each skill and apply them to real challenges they face at work.
Building for Allyship Beyond the Binary:
Our transgender and nonbinary colleagues are facing the worst year yet for anti-trans legislation as 400+ bills advance through state legislatures seeking to limit basic human rights and the right to bodily autonomy. These attacks are rooted in misogyny where those who challenge the so-called “gender binary” are deemed a threat. As such, intersectional solidarity among women must include trans allyship. In this workshop, we will discuss the current state of trans rights and how you can work in solidarity with trans and nonbinary people in your organizations and communities to advance intersectional inclusion.
We live in a world where change is the only constant. Instead of viewing these instances with trepidation, join us to explore ways to lean in and learn from these transformations and rise to your destiny. In this lively workshop, learn the key steps necessary to navigate the highs and lows of your professional and personal transitions. Led by Nathalie Gauthier (State Street) and Dominique Wilburn (Center for Women and Business), this session will teach you how to leverage your most vulnerable moments to embrace change and chart a new path forward as a more authentic you.
