SUMMARY:Signature Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Turning Awkward into Opportunity:\nBoost Diversity\, Collaboration\, and Innovation with Cultural Intelligence\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy Narishkin\, PhD\nCEO\nEmpowering Partners\, LLC\n\n\n\n\nResearch has found that diverse teams typically perform worse than homogenous teams do. (Maznevski & DiStefano\, 2002) Why? Because it’s harder to get things done when people don’t see eye-to-eye. Thankfully\, this same body of research found there’s more to the story. Diverse teams with moderate to high levels of Cultural Intelligence outperform homogenous teams on productivity\, cost-savings\, collaboration\, and safety! \nKey Take-A-Ways \n\nDiscover the value of a diverse organization where everyone feels valued\, seen & heard.\nIdentify the stages of cultural intelligence and what blocks productive conversations.\nLearn three tools that increase colleague and client engagement and what you can do today to feel confident working with anyone who seems different!\n\n  \nAgenda: \n11:00 am – 12:15 pm – Networking\, Welcome\, and Lunch\n12:15 pm – 1:00 pm – Presentation and Final Announcements \n  \nMore about Amy: \nRetention and engagement are at an all-time low\, and leaders are finding they must create a culture of safety and belonging. With a PhD in adult education and 30 years’ experience\, Dr. Amy provides training\, coaching\, and strategic guidance to help organizations across multiple industries\, including financial\, healthcare\, construction and manufacturing\, make the shift to Cultural Intelligence. As CEO of Empowering Partners\, LLC\, she has worked with more than 400 leaders—CEOs\, Executive Directors\, and management teams in the U.S. and internationally—to effectively increase their ability to lead\, retain\, and engage people who have different perspectives and backgrounds.

In program evaluations\, she regularly receives over 90% “exceeds expectations” from participants. As a cross-cultural thought leader and successful entrepreneur\, Dr. Amy empowers leaders to create an environment where everyone feels valued\, heard\, seen and engaged.
