PRODN Calendar
Thursday, January 24 Monthly Program

The emerging leadership competency of communicating a compelling vision can lead to momentous shifts in organization culture. As a follow-up to the popular June 8 Appreciative Inquiry SIG workshop, PRODN offers an in-depth look at storytelling as a tool for communication, leadership and organizational change.

Professional storyteller and author Robin Moore will be our guide as we interactively explore the basic building blocks of story and how we can use story as a powerful tool for problem-solving, conflict resolution and rapport building with our clients and colleagues.

Monday-Tuesday, February 25-26 - Special Learning Event


facilitated by Antje Mattheus and Lorraine Marino

Who should attend this workshop?

Consultants, trainers and leaders of European-American descent -- white people -- who want to strengthen their self awareness and ability to address racism and racial issues -- at the level of individual, group, and systems. It is also intended for whites who want to learn to become better allies with other whites and people of color to work toward a nonracist society. Also encouraged to come are consultants who might think they’ve already "been there, done that" with diversity or feel frustrated by previous experiences in diversity programs. We are our best instruments: the more we do our own work, the better we are able to support our clients.
