Accelerate Team and Career Success
The World Economic Forum expects that technology and artificial intelligence will cause 44% of workers' core skills to change in the next 5 years. This shift will prioritize "soft-skills" or "core people skills" like adaptability, analytical thinking, communication, creativity, teamwork, and leadership.
Investing in improving core people skills can lead to a 250% return on investment and lead to career growth and advancement according to MIT Sloan.

| 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EST) | In times of uncertainty, whether due to economic shifts, global crises, or organizational change—leaders are often called upon to make quick decisions that impact their teams and communities. But in the rush to adapt, equity can become an afterthought, widening existing disparities and leaving underrepresented voices unheard. How can leaders ensure that inclusion and fairness remain central, even in the face of unpredictability?

| 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM (EST) | Most people think influence is about having the right arguments. They're wrong. After years of studying how people think, choose, and behave, one thing is clear: successful influence isn't about logic, it's about psychology. The most effective communicators, leaders, and persuaders understand five fundamental principles about human nature that others overlook. This webinar reveals those principles, backed by peer-reviewed research from psychology and behavioral science, and shows you how to apply them in any professional context. Please note this is a 75-minute session and will not be recorded.

| 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EST) | Taking on the perspectives of others is one of the best ways for people to build understanding of others and increase personal investment in equity and inclusion initiatives. In polarized and restrictive environments, perspective-taking activities can address key learning objectives and support cross-cultural understanding while sidestepping common pitfalls of traditional trainings. In this session, we will experience a simulation challenging us to take on a different perspective and reflect on our real-time discoveries. In closing, we will brainstorm ways to carry insights into our work to activate more effective learning around equity, inclusion, and allyship.

| 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EST) | We love the idea of mentoring — but most of us are still doing it in ways that protect comfort, reinforce power, and quietly exclude. In this high-impact 60-minute Learning Lab, we’ll confront the myths we’ve been taught about what mentoring is supposed to be — and explore what it must become to truly serve equity, belonging, and leadership in today’s world. This session is not about mentoring-as-usual. It’s about rethinking mentoring as a disruptive, relational, and identity-conscious practice — one that transforms not just individuals, but organizational culture. Expect real talk, real reflection, and a reimagining of mentoring that invites courage, accountability, and transformation — for both mentors and mentees.
