WTS CT Signature Leadership Roundtable: Inclusive Leader
The Work is the Work; How to Continue to be an Inclusive Leader in Today's Shifting World
WTS CT Diversity and Leadership Committees are proud to be hosting Keyna Rutland from KJR Consulting on April 30th at 11am for an in-person event located at CTDOT's Headquarters in Newington.
In an ever-changing workplace, inclusive leadership isn’t a one-time initiative, it’s an ongoing commitment. The session equips leaders with the mindset and strategies to navigate evolving workplace dynamics, address systemic challenges, and foster environments where all employees feel valued and heard.
Participants will explore real-world scenarios, uncover barriers to inclusion, and develop practical skills to lead with equity and authenticity. This is Module #2 of the 2025 WTS CT DEI Series. To request Module #1 recording please reach out to [email protected].
This event is free and open to all! Please register by April 25, 2024. Registrants who provide less than a 24-hour cancellation notice and don't attend the event will be charged a $20 "no-show" fee that will go toward the WTS CT scholarship fund.
