Workshop Descriptions:
Building a Strategy for Diversity and Inclusion
Ensuring that your organization is taking a diverse and inclusive approach to your work will require a careful examination of your communication strategy. This session offers a framework that will help ensure you’re making a difference, by using systems thinking and insights from social, behavioral, and cognitive science to focus your communications effort where it can make the biggest difference. Through hands-on exercises, we will learn from the examples of several successful organizations, and help you apply the framework to your own challenges.
Building Unforgettable Presentations
We’ll share the magic behind great presentations and help you build new skills that help you break through writer’s block. This useful technique translates easily to many projects, whether you’re writing a speech, developing a curriculum or drafting an article.
