In this highly interactive, three-hour, virtual course, you’ll learn the basics of running small projects well, using tools you’re already familiar with. This course focuses on the concept of just enough project management – you won’t have to learn complicated new processes or software to run projects better!

This course examines diversity in the contexts of teams and leaders, and frames diversity and inclusion in terms of current business and cultural challenges. Participants gain deeper insights into themselves and the individuals on their teams so they can leverage the benefits of inclusion at all organizational levels.

In this workshop you will learn how to: • Determine your call to courage as a leader. • Define vulnerability as uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. • Understand the role of courage and vulnerability in daring leadership. • Challenge old definitions and dispel the myths surrounding the concept of vulnerability. • Understand and begin to utilize the metaphor of the arena to examine the challenges associated with feeling vulnerable or with engaging in behaviors that lead to uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. Based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, Dare to Lead™ is an empirically based courage-building program designed to be facilitated by organizational development professionals. Brené has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy, and most recently completed a seven-year study on courageous leadership. Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator Suzy Benson personally trained with Brené Brown. In this workshop, Suzy focuses on developing courage-building skills to help individuals, teams, and organizations.

Follow up to Accountability. Creating a Team Culture of Accountability means everyone acts from a premise that each problem is everyone’s problem. Working in fast-paced, highly competitive markets means little time for deadlines to be missed. Projects and company success can be affected radically when one team or function has miscommunicated or not met expectations. A great challenge in addressing accountability is about creating beliefs that support an accountable culture. This course is for Individual Contributors, Leaders or Teams who are searching for a way to define accountability, identify personal, professional and environmental obstacles, learn tools to initiate and manage expectations, all in service of creating a culture of accountability in others. Leaders learn how to set the foundation for values that support accountability. Team members and individual contributors learn how to embrace accountability with or without a culture that supports their efforts in service of their own power and autonomy.
