Aug. 13 | 11:30 AM ET
SIM
The first (Un)Common Ground episode, sponsored by SIM and ITSMF, was a fantastic success!
With Richard Cox and Warren Lenard sharing their personal narratives, we explored the differences in their journeys as well as their many areas of common ground…and the pictures they shared added color, laughter, and invited us into their personal journey! We are grateful to the 100+ attendees who participated as your questions enriched the event. As our expanded commitment is to have our two organizations form deeper connections and community, the networking after the storytelling session was incredible!
We are excited to announce the next episode in the (Un)Common Ground Storytelling Series on August 13th at 11:30am ET which will feature Risa Fogel, Digital Innovation Leader for Bayer, and Tiwanna (Tye) Hayes, Managing Partner at N-Ovate Business Solutions and former Interim CIO for the City of Atlanta. These two female leaders will share their narratives and have very dynamic discussions on bias, inclusion, mentoring, and career advancement. Their candor and humor will be woven throughout each of these topics – it’s a conversation you don’t want to miss!
Across both ITSMF and SIM, our intent is to educate and equip our leaders with the necessary skills to lead multi-cultural organizations. Our hope for the (Un)Common Ground series is to increase awareness, encourage leaders to have difficult conversations, and help close the cultural divide. We are delighted to have you join us on the journey!
