The Leading Inclusively Lab is a highly experiential, full immersion experience where you will learn to foster psychologically safe and developmentally appropriate spaces for people across multiple social identity and cultural differences. We need these capacities now more than ever. All across the world, we are seeing that understanding and engaging skillfully across differences is critical and complex. As humans, we’re wired to label each other and construct reasons to elevate our group over other groups. We are seeing more and more the limitations of this wiring, especially when we commit microaggressions against individuals and groups and our unconscious biases get us in all kinds of trouble. Society and our organizations demand that we become more self-aware and inclusive. This demand challenges our identity, simple stories, and the need for control. Sometimes when we try, we get it wrong and this unsettles us. This experiential program is designed to help us bring our most expansive selves to leading in more inclusive ways.

You know those conversations that open up entirely new possibilities? Where a question opens up a whole new vista of potential choices? In this workshop we offer a new form of listening and questioning that will open up a new kind of curiosity for you as you have conversations with your clients (your partner, your kids, etc.). Learn the difference between the content of someone’s thinking and the structure of someone’s meaning making. We slow down the process of conversations – reading interviews, engaging in deep conversations together, and feeling what it’s like to be at our growing edge. And because meaning making is more than a cognitive experience, we use our whole bodies as we explore, paying attention to our thinking, our feelings and our sensations.
