Critical Conversations Workshop
Across almost every industry, the global pandemic has negatively and significantly impacted businesses and their bottom lines, potentially putting even more pressure on leaders to deliver results. And yet, the same global pandemic has also wreaked havoc on businesses’ most precious asset—its people. Leaders need to make adjustments and accommodations for their teams in compassionate and thoughtful ways that still enable them to drive results.
Upcoming Offering: March 18–19, 9 a.m.–3 p.m.
NOTE: We ask that organizations send up to two individuals to this workshop. If your organization is interested in having more individuals participate, we can work with you to create a customized solution to meet your needs and goals.
