How do you show up to work every day and put your best foot forward when it may seem some of your coworkers may not care that your experiences are different than theirs? How do you stay motivated when your best efforts feel like they net you less than you deserve? Have you thought about where that stems from or why that happens? And as an ally, how can you help change those outcomes and feelings?
 
In this webinar, Stacey Gordon will share what you can do to go from indifference to making a difference at work. Gain valuable insights into identifying and transforming potential obstacles and discover your pivotal role in creating environments where everyone feels seen and valued. You’ll leave with additional perspective into how to turn barriers — and perceived barriers — into opportunities for growth.
