NOTE: This is a half-day conference, so you can only choose one of the four session options during registration.

Leadership Coaching
SPEAKER(s): Anthony Rodriguez and Ralph Tavares, Upstream DEI
AUDIENCE: Executives, managers and emerging leaders
DESCRIPTION: How can leaders continue to elevate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging programs with success? This session will discuss a framework for why diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies tend to fail and how organizations and teams can realign themselves to think of more sustainable outcomes. This learning session will lean on our framework for dialogue and discussion to openly discuss challenges to ‘DEIB’ work, learn about the 5 P’s, and how to think about long-term investments in DEIB success.

A Common Goal: Fostering Empathetic Relationships Within a Care Team
SPEAKER(s): Susan Jewel and Ariana DeAngelis, The Autism Project
AUDIENCE: Anyone on a care team
DESCRIPTION: To deliver impactful care, a person’s team must work as a cohesive, trusting and therapeutic network. Distrust, bias, frustration, miscommunication, cultural norms, opposing expectations and trauma can all influence one’s approach to members of the team. These influences often lead to breakdowns in communication and can negatively impact the individual as a result. This presentation addresses, from both the family and professional perspective, the causes of these communication breakdowns, and strategies for repairing and preventing them. Through an empathetic understanding of each person’s experience, a therapeutic and effective team will emerge.

Navigating Conflict at Work (CLOSED: Capacity Reached)
SPEAKER(s): Tricia Driscoll, Center for Mediation and Collaboration Rhode Island
AUDIENCE: All staff levels
DESCRIPTION: Participants will build on knowledge around communication, learn skills and strategies to engage in challenging conversations. These strategies will help create a culture of trust where team members have the skills and strategies to engage in challenging conversations. Learning Objectives include 1) Assess and understand individual default conflict management style and the impact on communication. 2) Assess and understand individual positions and interests and how they impact communication. 3) Learn strategies for engaging in challenging conversations in the workplace. 4) Learn to recognize levels of conflict in the workplace and when to get help. 5) Practice effective strategies and techniques to improve communication and relationships when participating in challenging conversations.
