    Here's the big idea... Everyone has a leadership voice, whether they know it or not. From the most quiet to the most gregarious, we all have the ability to lead others.

    The problem is... Most people don’t know their leadership voice or how to use it. Some don’t know what it is, others are insecure in their voice and have been told it is unimportant, and others immaturely overuse their voice and dominate the airwaves.

    Welcome to the 5 Voices™... The 5 Voices™ is designed to help every individual discover their leadership voice and be empowered to use it effectively.

    The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is holding an event that may interest you. On September 29 at 4 p.m. there will be a Zoom presentation and discussion by Ritu Bhasin on "The Profound Importance of Authentic Leadership, Especially During a Crisis."  Here is more information about the event:

    The practice of cultivating authenticity is fundamental to creating an inclusive legal work environment — a culture where every team member feels they can bring their authentic self to work as much as possible. Given the tremendous uncertainty, stress and anxiety, blurred lines between work/home and fear of bias during this crisis, authentic leadership is more important now than ever before. A commitment to authentic leadership will help to unlock belonging, inclusion, psychological safety, empowerment and creativity among team members.

    The learning objectives for this 75-minute elimination of bias program include the following:

      • Understand the link between inclusion, authenticity, belonging and empathy, especially during a crisis

      • Recognize authentic leadership and its connection to creating psychological safety at work

      • Learn how to address the fear of bias during a time of crisis

      • Acquire strategies for living, working and leading more authentically during this difficult moment

    If you wish to do some related reading before the program, information about purchasing Ritu's book, The Authenticity Principle, is here.

     

    If you are interested in attending, please register here. This event is free to in-house counsel only.

    As a community, we have harvested spaces to discuss challenges that women of color encounter in the workplace. These discussions provide value and unite people on the grounds of both their similarities and differences.

    While these discussions are still pertinent, let's make an effort to move forward and implement measurable actions to achieve the milestones of the greater BIPOC community. Let's champion women of all backgrounds, together.

    Event Date: September 29, 12 p.m.
