Mindful Life Webinar – Courageous Conversations for the Path Forward

From the COVID-19 pandemic to the pandemic of racism, we are shaping a new course for tomorrow and the generations to follow. This interactive webinar will help participants understand why the greatest indicator of courageous leadership is the ability to have courageous conversations. Using recent empirical research by Dr. Brené Brown on leadership and Karen’s professional experiences conducting women’s empowerment training around the globe, this session will highlight what gets in the way of hard conversations. The session will then highlight a conversation structure that can make you better prepared and confident to engage in hard conversations. The approach to these topics will challenge participants to assess their own experiences and offer practical approaches and tools to show up more authentically.
