Keynote – Building Your Leadership Toolkit: Persuasive Strategies
Vicki Baker

A skill that is critical to success in leadership roles, but one that is not given much (if any) attention, is around developing your voice and communicating that voice in a persuasive, compelling way. Regardless of your goals and current professional position(s), in this session you will be given tools and strategies to help you foster your persuasive skills. Session attendees will be introduced to Cialdini’s six persuasive strategies and will be given an opportunity to identify a critical departmental/unit/programmatic need to advance using persuasive strategies learned.

2–2:30 p.m.
Raffles

2:30–4:30 p.m.
Racial Healing Circles

The circle is an experiential process by which, through story-telling and deep listening, we can embrace our common humanity, learn to see ourselves in one another, and approach difficult issues through the lens of empathy and compassion, embracing honesty to speak the truth in love. The circle structure incorporates multiple segments, including a circle opening and closing, an introductory segment, group agreements, re-introductory prompt(s), and deep reflection prompt(s). Participants are encouraged to share their authentic stories in dyads as well as in small- and large-group settings. Through the circle experience, we have an opportunity to come together to listen and learn and expand our understandings of our differences and commonalities. It is one of the most impactful ways for us to see one another and for our stories to be told.
