Being Your Best Self Webinar Series
Join us for the third webinar in our series.
- Do you feel safe enough at work to be your best self so you can do your best work?
- Do you feel brave enough to offer your best ideas?
- Do you feel safe enough to report a problem?
- What if the problem is with a colleague, manager, or leader?
Safety is the invisible issue holding organizations—and people—back. We aren’t talking about physical safety, though that is critical. What we’re talking about is the supportive, liberating safety that enables people to think big, take risks and accomplish spectacular feats. The challenging but nurturing safety that encourages speaking up and inspires people to reach for greater possibilities. We call this interaction safety.
In this session, we’ll share the concept of interaction safety and why it’s critical to organizational performance; explore the Four Levels of safety, and talk about what you as a leader, manager, team member, or individual contributor can do to increase interaction safety and move teams and organizations to higher levels of trust, collaboration, and performance.
In this interactive webinar, participants will:
- Learn about a model/framework for creating interaction safety in organizations that builds, trust, collaboration and higher performance.
- Diagnose where your organization is with respect to interaction safety.
- Discuss interventions and behaviors that support creating greater interaction safety.
This webinar will be facilitated by Fred Miller and Judith Katz, two trailblazers in the field of inclusion, diversity, and personal and professional development. They are authors of several books, including Be Big (2008), which explores how we bring our full selves to our lives and work, and Safe Enough to Soar (2018), which introduces the concept of interaction safety.
About this webinar series
The Centre for Human Relations and Community Studies is offering two transformational workshops in 2022:
Human Interaction Laboratory (HI Lab)
2022 Dates TBD
A foundational workshop designed to enhance your understanding of how you show up and interact in order to improve your personal and professional effectiveness
Developing the Personal and Organizational Self (D/OPS)
2022 Dates TBD
An advanced workshop designed to build greater self-knowledge and fluency in using boundaries and choice to be more of the person you want to be at work, at home, and in the world
This FREE, four-part webinar series is designed to give you a taste of a few of the concepts and frameworks that will be explored more fully in both of these growth and development workshops. Whether you attend HI Lab OR D/OPS, you will be exploring concepts related to interactions, identity, and self-awareness, all of which are critical to growth and development
