VIRTUAL | Embrace and Empower | Delivering Dignity: Cultivating a Transformative Organizational Culture
Come join CX for our Embrace and Empower Series, to experience and learn about the ongoing commitment of fostering diversity, equity and inclusion and walk away with a willingness to adopt organizational practices to embrace and empower everyone.
Picture a culture where every unique facet of diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated—a culture where everyone's expertise and perspective are not only recognized but fully leveraged to propel radical organizational results. Through the lens of dignity, every individual emerges as a cherished stakeholder, empowered with agency and an amplified voice in an organization.
In today's dynamic landscape, leaders bear the profound responsibility of fostering environments where dignity thrives. Join us for an illuminating session as we delve into the transformative power of the Dignity Framework. This research-based framework, created by Dr. Kirsten Brown Persley (author of the book Delivering Dignity: A Guide to Cultivating Cultural Competence), serves as a beacon, guiding leaders to cultivate cultural competence and honor the rich tapestry of diversity within their organizations.
In this session, we'll explore practical strategies for embedding the Dignity Framework into your leadership approach. Discover how delivering dignity with intentionality ignites innovation, fosters inclusion, and cultivates an environment where each member feels deeply understood and affirmed. Join us on this journey towards building a culture where dignity isn't just a goal; it's the cornerstone of organizational excellence.
