Cultivating Belonging for All—Especially During These Difficult Times
Description:
In the legal profession right now, we’re
grappling with a range of challenges across firm environments in this difficult
moment, including: stress caused by the political and social landscape;
differences in cultural and generational values; changes to people’s mindsets
about how to work; increased burnout and mental health issues; and more. To put
it mildly, we’re navigating a moment in time that feels especially tense,
polarized, and uncertain.
Given this, the need to cultivate belonging for everyone—and do it more
strategically—feels more pressing than ever. Unlocking belonging in this
difficult moment will require intentional leadership behaviors that draw on
novel approaches and practices, which is what this important session will focus
on.
Join Ritu Bhasin, award-winning leadership and belonging expert, for this
practical and inspiring workshop, where she will reveal insights from her
extensive work and research in this space, including:
- a new definition for organizational belonging during difficult times
- the fundamental characteristics of interactions that are rooted in belonging
- how to leverage the Three Selves Framework™, a cutting-edge methodology for
fostering belonging, psychological safety, trust, and inclusion—especially in
challenging moments
- critical leadership behaviors for unlocking a sense of belonging across firm
members during times of crisis
- how to hold empathetic, supportive, and inclusive one-on-one conversations
that center our team member’s experiences
Come ready to be challenged, lifted, and motivated on how to create cultures of
belonging for everyone in your firm environment!
