Leading Across Difference

While we may recognize that conflict is a part of everyday life, in our work and in our relationships, we may not always be as prepared as we wish to lead through its complex dynamics. This session with Dr. Washington will provide guidance and tools on how to effectively engage with and lead through resistance and challenge that results in learning and growth for a team/organization. Dinner will be provided!
