SUMMARY:VIRTUAL | Embrace and Empower | Delivering Dignity: Cultivating a Transformative Organizational Culture
DESCRIPTION:Come join CX for our Embrace and Empower Series\, to experience and learn about the ongoing commitment of fostering diversity\, equity and inclusion and walk away with a willingness to adopt organizational practices to embrace and empower everyone.\n\n\n\nPicture a culture where every unique facet of diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated a culture where everyone's expertise and perspective are not only recognized but fully leveraged to propel radical organizational results. Through the lens of dignity\, every individual emerges as a cherished stakeholder\, empowered with agency and an amplified voice in an organization. \n\n \n\nIn today's dynamic landscape\, leaders bear the profound responsibility of fostering environments where dignity thrives. Join us for an illuminating session as we delve into the transformative power of the Dignity Framework. This research-based framework\, created by Dr. Kirsten Brown Persley (author of the book Delivering Dignity: A Guide to Cultivating Cultural Competence)\, serves as a beacon\, guiding leaders to cultivate cultural competence and honor the rich tapestry of diversity within their organizations.\n\n \n\nIn this session\, we'll explore practical strategies for embedding the Dignity Framework into your leadership approach. Discover how delivering dignity with intentionality ignites innovation\, fosters inclusion\, and cultivates an environment where each member feels deeply understood and affirmed. Join us on this journey towards building a culture where dignity isn't just a goal\; it's the cornerstone of organizational excellence.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDr. Kirsten Brown Persley is the author of the book Delivering Dignity: A Guide to Cultivating Cultural Competence. She is also the Founder and CEO of Persley Advisors\, a strategic advising firm that specializes in supporting organizational leaders through strategic project support\, training\, consulting\, and coaching\, all of which are deeply rooted in the power of\n\ncultural competence. With over a decade of experience\, she has led transformative initiatives that have significantly impacted the field of cultural competence.\n\n\n\nKirsten Brown Persley formerly served as the Executive Director of a nonprofit in Kansas City\, where she led a successful relaunch of the Kansas City market and led strategies and initiatives to increase cultural competence\, diversity\, and belonging in corporations and small and mid-size businesses.\n\n\n\nBefore working as a nonprofit leader\, Dr. Brown Persley was a founding school Principal for five years. As a founding school leader\, Dr. Brown Persley managed a team of teachers\, support staff members\, and administrators\, and she launched two school concepts. During her tenure\, she helped the school secure funding.
