Globally Responsible Leadership Inquiry is Designed for I, WE, ALL of US
Take a deeper dive into globally responsible leadership with the timely and urgent question for leaders and leadership development practitioners, “what does it mean to be globally responsible?” and how might we realise global responsibility in leadership and practice?
This uniquely designed program offers an opportunity to participate in the co-creation of an agenda that drives the development of global responsibility in leadership and practice. A uniquely interactive and courageous conversation will be held around the inquiry “what does it mean and what might it take to realize global responsibility in leadership and practice?”
This workshop begins with conversation bringing together 3 different perspectives – a practitioner (Vanessa) an activist (John) and a scientist / researcher (Nicola) who are all deeply embedded in the emergent discourse on developing global responsibility.
Afterwards, participants investigate their own lived and felt sense of global responsibility and colour in the conversation with contributions reflecting the diversity of participants.
This workshop offers an opportunity to consider personal and collective intent to act and it concludes with an inspirational round where contributions from all the participants help shape the agenda for our next steps.
This experience is NOT a webinar and NOT a time to go on mute and off camera and listen while doing other things. It is a space to explore, reflect, apply to self/own context, discover, cultivate… completely participative and inclusive of individuals where participants are on the journey to globally responsible leadership.
This intense interactive workshop is sure to be the thought-provoking conversation you have engaged in around GRLI and how you show up in the workforce.
Who Should Attend?
Business leaders at all levels – those who want to know more and do something taking the leap from the comfort of success to calling of significance.
