| VIRTUAL WEBINAR: Humanocracy: Resilient Organization, Great Jobs, Zero Bureaucracy | 7 | 4 | 2021 | 12 p.m. | 1 | 3 | Virtual |
Did you know that a scant fifteen percent of employees around the world are highly
engaged in their work? Or that only one in five employees believe their opinions matter
at work? We can change this...We need flat, fast, and open organizations that reward
entrepreneurship and out-run change; that is a source of meaning and connection for
employees and other stakeholders. The good news is that you don’t have to be the CEO
to dismantle bureaucracy. Anyone can take the lead in building an organization that’s
fit for human beings and fit for the future. Drawing from decades of research and
their new WSJ Bestselling Book, Humanocracy, influential and iconoclastic business
thinkers Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini will show you how to find the courage to challenge
the status quo, how to rid yourself of bureaucratic habits and beliefs, and what you
can learn from organizations that have made the jump to “humanocracy."
About the author(s): Gary Hamel is the co-author of Humanocracy and The Future of
Management. Hamel, one of the Management Labs co-founders, has worked with leading
companies across the globe and is a dynamic and sought-after management speaker. Hamel

Have you ever wondered if there was a manual to help you answer those simple but essential
parenting questions? Have you ever wished for a guide to help you maneuver through
working and parenting at the same time? Most parents haven’t had to figure out working
from home and homeschooling their children, but it has become a reality for many in
the last year. In this enlightening webinar, author Daisy Dowling will cover techniques
and strategies that any working parent can use. You will learn to manage a routine
better, communicate effectively as a professional and a parent, build a better “village”
of support, maintain personal energy and resilience in the face of working-parent

mom or dad.

| VIRTUAL WEBINAR: Good Guys: How Men Can Be Better Allies for Women in the Workplace | 21 | 4 | 2021 | 12 p.m. | 1 | 3 | Virtual |
Do you know what the key to advancing gender equality is? It’s men. Women are at a
disadvantage. At home, they often face an unequal division of household chores and
childcare. In the workplace, they deal with lower pay, lack of credit for their contributions,
roadblocks to a promotion, sexual harassment, and more. Gender-in-the-workplace experts
and co-authors David Smith and Brad Johnson make the business case for male engagement
in gender equality while integrating why it is suitable for both men and women. Using
social science evidence, they explore the possible challenges of cross-gender professional
relationships. Together, in this deep-dive webinar, they will provide the “how-to”
for men, women, and organizational leaders who want to be intentional, inclusive,
and excellent allies, leveraging mentorship, sponsorship, and workplace partnership
to create a more diverse workforce.
About the authors: David Smith, Ph.D., is co-author of Good Guys: How Men Can Be Better
Allies for Women in the Workplace, Athena Rising: How and Why Men Should Mentor Women,
numerous journal articles and book chapters that focus on gender and the workplace.
A former navy pilot, Dr. Smith is currently an Associate Professor of Sociology in
the College of Leadership and Ethics at the U.S. Naval War College.
W. Brad Johnson is a Professor of Psychology in the Department of Leadership, Ethics,
and Law at the United States Naval Academy. A clinical psychologist and former Lieutenant
Commander in the Navy’s Medical Service Corps, Dr. Johnson is the author of numerous
publications, including thirteen books, in mentoring, professional ethics, and counseling.

Guys: How Men Can Be Better Allies for Women in the Workplace.

| VIRTUAL WEBINAR: Trust Yourself: Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions for Success at Work | 6 | 5 | 2021 | 12 p.m. | 1 | 3 | Virtual |
Have you been told that you take criticism too personally? Do you judge yourself too harshly? We are taught to hide our emotions for fear of being perceived as “unprofessional.” But the truth is that the traits associated with highly sensitive individuals—empathy, self-awareness, critical thinking, communication, and intuition—are the “soft skills” that will be the most valuable in the workplace of the future. In this deep-dive webinar, human behavior expert and executive coach Melody Wilding, LMSW, will draw on decades of research and offer neuroscience-based strategies that individuals and organizations can use to recognize sensitivity as a superpower, not a detriment. You will learn concrete steps to help what she calls “Sensitive Strivers” – empathetic, driven individuals—break free from stress, perfectionism, and self-doubt to use sensitivity as a strength, and work and lead effectively, now and in the future world of work.
About the author Melody Wilding, LMSW is the author of Trust Yourself: Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions for Success at Work (Coming May 2021) and has coached hundreds of private clients, from CEOs and Fortune 500 executives to leaders from the US Department of Education, the Federal Reserve, and the United Nations. She teaches graduate-level human behavior and psychology. Her writing is regularly featured in Forbes, Business Insider, and Quartz. Her advice has been featured in the New York Times, The Cut, Oprah Magazine, NBC News, US News and World Report, and more.
