Overview Agenda Speakers Resources For Module 2 of the PHEARLESS initiative, we headed to Albuquerque, New Mexico to network, share best practices, and learn strategies to continue facilitating the emergence and sustainability of leaders who serve the well-being of all. We opened with a discussion on inclusive negotiation to learn about the context, channels, and guiding principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion and how to leverage negotiation skills to achieve inclusive outcomes. This helped attendees identify and counter the traps that may hinder the influence and impact of messaging and master the art of storytelling to bring the concepts to life. The module’s second half featured faculty from USF’s Muma College of Business, Drs. GJ de Vreede and Triparna de Vreede. They focused on how to become facilitating and collaborative leaders and to work with the whole community as a resource for making decisions. They introduced resources to help manifest practitioners as the community’s voice rather than the community’s hero. Participant bios and details about the PHEARLESS cohort are also available in our program guide. for more information Questions? Email Parnia Roghani at [email protected].

Participants will be provided with different colored wristbands for each day of the conference after they share a negative test result at registration. There will be a discrete COVID testing area with a point person on site. Physical Distancing: The convening planning team will make every effort to provide physically distant seating and event space set-up to allow individuals who wish to physically distance themselves while in sessions to do so comfortably. Additionally, to help attendees communicate their level of comfort in interacting with one another, we will provide color-coded stickers to all onsite attendees.
