Keynote and Full-Day Workplace Culture Masterclass
Sally Helgesen’s Rising Together Keynote and Masterclass help participants build a stronger workplace culture across a range of divides: gender, ethnicity, race, age, and values. Based on her acclaimed book Rising Together, the approach is practical and action-oriented. Attendees will learn how to focus on how we act rather than what we think.
Using vivid, real-life examples, Sally helps participants recognize common triggers that can undermine our efforts to build effective relationships with those we may perceive as different from ourselves. The emphasis is not on eliminating triggers, which usually lie beyond our control. Rather, the emphasis should be directed at managing our responses in a way that serves our interests. These practices enable us to engage a broad range of allies, and serves collaboration and teamwork.
Triggers include:
- How we position ourselves to be visible
- How we communicate across boundaries
- How our beliefs about fairness shape our expectations
- How we engage with and develop networks
- How we use humor to bond or provoke
Sally details a range of inclusive behaviors that can be practiced at any stage of our careers. These range from active listening, engaging across levels, and honoring the squeaky wheel, investing in our colleagues’ development, nominating, shining a spotlight, and hiring for behavior.
