Reframing Impact: Inclusion, Identity & Leading Through Change
As Diversity, Equity and Inclusion roles evolve and organizations reassess their commitments, how do we adapt without losing purpose or our careers?
Join us for an intimate 1:1 conversation where leadership coach and author Ingrid Hu Dahl sits down with Jaya Saxena, a nationally recognized DEI strategist and lawyer, to explore how we navigate change and stay grounded in our values.
