OVERCOMING “US VS. THEM” MENTALITY
Creating Inclusive Work and Life Environments
This program provides insightful perspectives and practical tools on creating inclusive connections to build healthy boundaries and mutual respect without forcing compliance, attempting to change minds of others, or engaging in verbal combat.
2020 will take a prominent place in our history as humanity has been tested at a global scale and to the deepest level at its core. A deadly pandemic, divisive politics, deep-rooted social injustice, devasting economic hardship, and traumatizing isolation have severed our connections and destroyed our sense of belonging. The mental, emotional, and social health of humanity have been severely traumatized. As we cautiously approach rebuilding our new norms in 2021, we must be mindful of how we reconnect with the familiar while connecting with the new and different. One of the biggest challenges we must tackle first is dismantling the “Us vs Them” mindset, which keeps us divided politically, culturally, socially, and personally. Our differences do not have to divide us. When our differences are tolerated, we collectively produce sub-par outcomes. When our differences are accepted, we are merely meeting the status quo. However, when our differences are genuinely appreciated, we thrive. We can build an inclusive culture when we openly and intentionally appreciate our differences. Dismantling the “Us vs Them” mindset will create inclusive working and living environments, empowering each individual to thrive physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally.

Leadership is for Everyone
Leadership Development and Networking Event
LIFE 2022 – Reimagining and Revitalizing our Future: Equity- and Justice- Centered Leadership
This event took place on Friday, April 29, 2022 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. via Zoom videoconference
This annual leadership development and networking opportunity took place virtually in 2022. This was NOT a webinar, but rather the kind of interactive learning and networking experience people have come to know and expect from this event – since 2004! As always, the program was OPEN to the PUBLIC.
MORNING SESSION
Reimagining Our Systems and Structures: What’s Going on in Communities?
This panel discussion will open the door to community-based perspectives on the positioning of funding from systems and structures of power towards new, defining practices of justice and equity. Panelists will discuss the value drivers, leadership practices and methods utilized by community-based organizations for their transformational efforts in environmental justice, restorative justice, and health equity. Panelists will offer their reflections on the personal or community healing practices that are integral to this work. Through the panel and small breakout discussion, participants will come away from this session with:
- The role of small, local community nonprofits in driving systemic change.
- Perspectives surrounding the engagement and collaborative practices that are transforming community impact.
- Individual and organizational restorative practices that keep teams and communities together.

AFTERNOON SESSION
Reimagining Resiliency and the Pressure to Power Through
In this session participants and panelists will journey together and begin to explore, deconstruct, and reimagine the importance of self-care and resilience for leaders during challenging times. As leaders it is our responsibility to show up as our full authentic selves so that we give others permission to do the same. Together, let’s move beyond commercial self-care and explore what it means to create personal and professional environments that care for our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. The panel will invite you to move beyond sick days, massages, & baths and develop the tools necessary to create habits of good for long term self-preservation and begin to reimagine and create lives that are just, and well. We will focus on how we use our authentic and compassionate selves to become better leaders. Participants will walk away with:
- Tools and takeaways for designing healthy professional and personal environments
- The tools to identify when we are not caring well for ourselves
- Self-examination to explore if/when inadequacy of our own self-care impedes and impacts the self-care of others

The “Exhausted Majority”
Hidden Tribes, Beliefs, and Navigating Our Tense Political Climate
Most Americans say this is the most politically divided we have been in our lifetimes. What is driving us apart, how can we better understand these differences, and — most importantly — how can we move beyond them?
This event took place on July 19, 2019. See photos from the event below:
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE
Workshop participants will leave with the capacity to empathize with Americans of different political perspectives, and to feel equipped to proactively mitigate polarization as individuals, as leaders, and as organizations.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Workshop participants will:- Gain a much deeper understanding of the underlying value sets and belief systems animating the current period of intense polarization in the US.
- Learn a Core Beliefs framework and the Hidden Tribes typology that explain why the country feels so divided and identify the frames for constructive engagement with new audiences.
- Apply tenets of the Core Beliefs framework in role-play to practice how to navigate polarization to more effectively connect with a broader range of stakeholders and audiences.

Women and Leadership
Cultivating Confidence, Voice and Presence
December 9, 2019
8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Denver, CO
A full day of skill-building workshops by and for women.
CONFIDENCE
Understanding it, identifying barriers to it, and applying a growth mindset.
Presented by Dr. Marti Schulte
President, Community Physician Consulting
The confidence workshop will explore confidence, how participants think about it, what confidence looks and feels like, and what a personal vision of confidence would be. Together as a group, attendees will discuss the questions: What do I look like when I am confident? How do I want to feel when I feel confident? Then, the group will identify and name barriers to confidence. Using this information, the growth mindset will be explored for understanding and applicability to cultivating a more robust sense of personal confidence. The workshop will include small group discussion and a hands-on activity to illustrate and enhance learning of the growth mindset.
VOICE
Appreciating the danger of women’s silence, knowing what you want and your intention, and speaking clearly and powerfully to be heard.
Presented by Dr. Kathy Kennedy
Director, Regional Institute for Health & Environmental Leadership
What do I stand for? Why is it profoundly important for women’s voices to be heard? What are the challenges to being heard in the workplace, and when must those barriers be called out? How can I use my voice more effectively? Together we will practice creating assertive responses and “I” statements.
Kathy Kennedy’s Biography
PRESENCE
Leveraging emotional intelligence, tackling imposter syndrome, and discovering the power of vulnerability.
Presented by Deb Center
Senior Director for Education and Coaching, Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence
First impressions are formed instantly within two to thirty seconds and can impact how people perceive your capabilities, credibility, and knowledge. Regardless of abilities, evidence suggests leadership positions are given first to those that “look” and “act” the part with presence accounting for 28% of women’s success. Lacking or underestimating the importance of presence can cause women to be overlooked for executive and leadership positions, hindering career advancement. All women need to understand the importance of leadership presence and identify strategies for cultivating presence to enhance their success. Together, we will explore how to cultivate the three pillars of leadership presence through growing emotional intelligence, confronting imposter syndrome and developing vulnerability. The experiential session will provide self-awareness insights to help guide developing a personal action plan for cultivating leadership presence.

SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
9:00 a.m. - A No-Fault Conversation about Race: How we got here isn’t necessarily where we need to go
Nita Mosby Tyler
Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity have become words that can either inspire understanding or ignite discourse. At the core of all of these discussions is race. This sometimes-uncomfortable topic can cause each of us to retreat or advance in our understanding of one another. During this interactive, fireside-chat-style session, Nita will explore the advantage of understanding race to further develop our leadership expert power, steps to lead authentic and gracious conversations about race, and how-to’s to promote a culture of inclusion using the lens of race as a guide. Participants will practice using several tools and learning circle opportunities for creating race/cultural responsiveness in their personal and professional lives.
Dr. Nita Mosby Tyler is the Chief Catalyst for The Equity Project.
