Keynote Title: Creating a Culture of Civility in the Workplace

All participants will feel compelled to learn, invited to be courageous, and challenged to be humble as we explore the impact of our experiences on our ability to form truly authentic partnerships and relationships.  Through intentional dialogue focused on our sense of belonging, we are able to examine and challenge the plethora of personal and professional environments where we feel most and least likely that we belong.  Participants will be able to apply their unique personality, lived experience, and acquired knowledge to Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in ways consistent with the unique mission of organizations across all Departments, roles, and responsibilities.

The impact of up to five generations working side by side in the workplace presents experiences that can evolve and challenge authentic relationships.  Each generation has a unique experience and understanding of the concept of respect, hard work ethic, and civility.  How each of these are defined will influence how individuals recognize and respond to the world around them.  As we become more intentional about shared definitions, we are more inclined to actively participate in contributing to a desired organizational culture.
