Now More Than Ever: Why Leadership on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Requires Emotional Intelligence
Connect to Virtual Event
Carleton has once again partnered with Anne Phibbs, Founder and President of Strategic Diversity Initiatives to offer three training sessions that focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
For many who care about advancing equity and social justice in all areas of their lives, this past year has brought tremendous challenges. While U.S. society grows increasingly diverse and complex, our social and political discourse grows more polarized, less nuanced, and frighteningly hostile. Whether it’s another leader being accused of sexual harassment/assault, a new challenge to rights we thought secure, or the reemergence of organized white supremacy, we are living through a profound social and cultural moment.
Continuing to build an inclusive and equitable society, in the face of so many challenges, will require not just allies and advocates, but leaders and risk-takers. And these leaders must come to the work prepared, not just intellectually but emotionally as well.
In this practically-focused presentation, we will explore how the framework of “emotional intelligence” has much to offer those of us doing the work of diversity, inclusion, and social justice.
This is a hybrid course: you can choose to attend in person or via zoom, but if you can attend in person we highly encourage you to do so, as there is interactive work involved. If Zoom is an option you need, we are excited to be able to offer you that option for these trainings as well.
