Building Bravery   

Presented by Christopher Ridenhour, Retention 911! (Germantown, PA) 

The best defense against runaway turnover is a health workplace culture. The key is learning how to move beyond surface level interactions to cultivate depth, inclusiveness and belonging. The session will be highly interactive, fun, engaging, and deep. Be ready to participate and share your experience with others and walk away with a commitment and an accountability buddy to practice the tools we will learn.

As a result of attending this workshop, participants gain these tools for grounding and centering as leaders

  • Learn and practice how to listen with depth and feeling.
  • Experience surface level interactions with colleagues and more deep interactions that require empathy, compassion, and allyship.
  • Practice tools to support each other in addressing micro-aggressions.
  • Discover what bravery looks like in the workplace, how to show up and what commitments to make.

Free parking is available in a number of locations including the lots

  • adjacent to the National Cemetery (north edge) on Garland Avenue (FREE)
  • adjacent to the ArcBest Corporation Performing Arts Center on the east side of Wheeler (Free)
  • and for a nominal rate in the parking garage at 715 Rogers Avenue.
