Disruptive Leadership

Disruption is any person or thing that prevents something from continuing as usual or as expected. We see this with our clients in generational changes, difficult conversations, and conflict resolution. But what about the more sensitive disruptors, including psychological safety, emotions at work, diversity, privilege, trust, and authenticity?

The Disruptive Leadership Series allows us to have honest conversations in a safe environment as we address challenges affecting our area in a positive way and create a greater sense of connectedness, optimism, motivation, and understanding. Join us for one of our upcoming 2025 webinars:
