Join us in conversation as we explore how to foster resilience during these complicated times. Many of the organizations we serve are feeling the real consequences of increased polarization. We'll explore strategies for engaging diverse opinions and building effective leadership when working towards positive community engagement. As consultants with varied expertise, we all bring a different lens to the work. This conversation will facilitate exchange of ideas and perspectives, with the goal of strengthening our collective practice.
