About the Workshop

Level up your leadership. If you manage one person or 50, leading a team is a complex balance of articulating strategy, energizing the group around the organization's mission and goals, and supporting your team to achieve those goals. This will be a space to hear from and connect with others on important topics such as team culture, change management, and professional development for you and your team. Bring lots of business cards!

  • Use adaptive leadership to incorporate the values of diversity, equity and inclusion into your work (Leticia John and Jacqueline Murphy, Planned Parenthood)
  • Manage staff and foster a positive team culture in a remote working environment (Eliza McNulty, Stanford)
