Building Connection in Complex Times

Friday, December 12, 2025 (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM) (EST)

Description

Event is open to Chamber members and nonmembers.

Today’s leaders are called to do more than manage—they’re called to connect.  In a time of polarization and division, inclusive leadership is about bridging difference, fostering belonging, and leading with intention. This session empowers participants to cultivate spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued; equipping teams to thrive in the face of change and complexity.

Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:  

  • Define what inclusive leadership looks like.
  • Understand how polarization and bias affect relationships and workplace culture.
  • Equip their teams with the mindset and tools to lead inclusively, across difference.
  • Practice key inclusive leadership skills: listening to understand, inclusive language, challenging bias, leading with courage.
  • Leave with actions to foster inclusion and belonging in their teams and business.
