Women of Different Tribes: What Unites Us & What Divides Us: A Women's Caucus

Women of Different Tribes is a women's caucus to build partnership skills across difference and within perceived sameness.

This breakthrough session provides women at different levels of leadership and responsibility challenging opportunities to examine their professional and personal stance and intentions as partners across difference. Learning lab activities and models support each woman in discovering and shaping new behaviors and informed actions she can take in her organization to become a full partner with people of color of many nationalities, other white women AND white men. What participants accomplish at the lab results from strengthening their abilities to identify and interrupt unproductive patterns of interaction...their own and others, with help from their diversity partners, when and if it is needed.

Starts at 4 PM on Day 1 and ends at 3:00 PM on Day 4

  • A Leader's Investment

    "It's never easy to give up the better part of a work week, but this event is well worth it. More than any other training or discussions I have previously participated in, I left this event with a deeper personal understanding of diversity and inclusion issues on both an intellectual and emotional level. More importantly, I left with an improved understanding of how I can be a better leader in a diverse environment. I recommend this for all senior leaders. If you choose to attend, bring an open mind and a willingness to fully participate."
