SUMMARY:Anti-Racism Deep Dive w/ CoachVille
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, it has been impossible to ignore the flood of information about police brutality and violence against Black people across the US. \nThe murders of George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Tony McDade\, and Ahmaud Arbery and so many more; the national response to their deaths\, and the worldwide protests have opened up conversations about racism unlike any before. \nIf you have found yourself in a tailspin wondering where your place is\, what you should do\, or what is appropriate to say\, you are not alone. In this deep-dive\, we will create a brave space to have an open discussion around white supremacy\, privilege\, and what it means to be an anti-racist. Also\, as a coach\, what can you do to hold space for your clients and the greater community.

SUMMARY:Playing With the Hand You’re Dealt: A Leader’s Roadmap to Practicing Resilience w/ Kirsten Anderson
DESCRIPTION:What reactions have you witnessed when a hand of cards is dealt to you\, or others\,\nthat does not meet the aims of the game? \nPerhaps an eye roll\, a grumble\nPerhaps asking ‘why me?’ or ‘this sucks!’\nPerhaps a smile on the outside but on the inside a struggle with another potential loss \nWith our unique situations it’s natural for us to deal with these evolving changes differently. \nWe have all been ‘dealt a hand” we were not expecting\, that may make our goals more challenging. \nWith mounting change\, unease\, and perhaps overwhelm our individual and team productivity might be showing up in our results now more than ever. \nAre you a leader ready to: \n\nThink differently about change and resilience?\nLearn hands-on how to propel your team’s potential?\nPractically apply these principles with your team immediately?\n\nIf you said ‘YES!’ to any of these questions be sure to join Expert Co-facilitators\, Gary Ware and Kirsten Anderson\, for an interactive session that will cover three of nine leadership principles to build the muscles you and your team need to persevere and meet your long term goals. \nWe want everyone to have access to this event so there is NO FEE. We will offer an opportunity at the end for you to PayPal\, if you so choose\, whatever you believe the value of the content and experience to your organization is. \nAbout Kirsten Anderson \nBridging 25 years in leadership in the toy industry\, and a lifetime of studying the bottom-line benefits of playfulness at work\, Kirsten founded the boutique training organization Integrate Play Solutions.
