Safe Space: A Monthly Drop-in Session
Tuesday, August 18 | 12:00 p.m.
Navigating organizational change isn't always smooth, especially in an org as large as ours. In our monthly 45-minute drop-in session, we'll explore how shift impacts our day-to-day work, our teams, and our sense of connection. Where do you find stability when priorities shift? How can we build resilience and keep moving forward together?

This month, for our asynchronous education, we are listening to 89: Boundaries, Bravery, and Building on Purpose with Kim Crowder. In this episode of Embracing Only: Workplace Culture & Career Development for BIPOC Leaders, transformational leadership expert and founder of Courageous Crowd, Kim Crowder, explores how leaders, especially high-achieving women of color, can hold strong boundaries, navigate toxic workplace dynamics, and align their work with their core values. As IT professionals navigating complex institutional environments, learning how to establish healthy boundaries and transform workplace challenges into sustainable catalysts for growth is an essential skill for long-term career resilience.
