What is the context of you? Honor the layers that make you who you are by inviting them into this space and into your leadership practice.
On your slide, visually represent The Context of You in any way you’d like.
Some Questions to Consider as you reflect on your layers:
What is at your foundation? What is in your roots? What is at your core? Who or what do you do it all for
How do you spend your days? What is visible to those around you? What is invisible? In the shadow?
What are you striving for? Consider the goals you’ve just named. How are they a part of a bigger vision?

Most of the leadership theories and frameworks created over the past couple centuries were designed during eras of exclusion, and we can see the impact of that exclusion even today.
In this session, you'll have an opportunity to make connections between our present experiences and their foundational sources. You'll also rewrite history, redefining how we would frame leadership if we were included in those foundational theories.
As a result, you'll come away with:
A deeper understanding of how the exclusionary roots of leadership theories affect us today in implicit and explicit ways
A clearer awareness of what aspects of leadership we need to unlearn and relearn
A leadership statement and ethos that is truly reflective of our unique perspectives, serving as a guidepost for our leadership identities
-
Who we are should inform how we lead. Our identities, lived experiences, cultures, and their intersections all contribute to our sense of self, and therefore, should contribute to the unique ways we each should define leadership for ourselves and how we practice it at work and beyond.
In this session, we will explore the core aspects of our identity, whether given or chosen, name the impact of experiencing life at intersections, and leverage our intersectional experiences to identify the unique standpoints we should center in our leadership.

To lead effectively, we must understand systems. To understand systems, we must understand power. In this session, you'll thread the connection from the self to the system, engaging in a systems-thinking analysis process that maps formal, informal, institutional, political, societal, and untapped power that informs organizational behavior. Bridging a connection to your “Zone of Untapped Capacity,” you will explore the “push, pull, and pause” exercise often required when leading systems toward progress.
By engaging with this session, you will:
Explore the connection between the self and the system utilizing the Untapped Leadership framework
Unpack the common sources of power within workplace systems
Better understand your own systems through power mapping and systems analysis
Utilize your Zone of Untapped Capacity to identify moments to lead within your systems.
-
Systems are powerful, but that does not mean we are powerless. As leaders of color, we sometimes find ourselves operating in stealth mode, under the radar yet impactful.
Bridging a connection to our previous Power Mapping Session and the Zone of Untapped Capacity framework this session will explore the “push, pull, and pause” exercise often required when leading systems toward progress.
As a result of engaging with this session, you will:
Engage in workplace systemic analysis to understand how to act strategically
Identify factors to consider when determining when to push, pull, or pause for deepest impact
Apply the frameworks shared to your real-time work challenges

"Radical imagination is the courage to envision a future that is completely unlike the world we have today. It is limitless. It doesn't react to or get discouraged by current realities.
It imagines -- without constraint -- that anything is possible and that, collectively, we are capable of achieving the impossible."
