Our speakers will focus on the common experiences, emotions, and challenges we all share as humans. As citizens of unique societies and cultures, we examine how both our commonalities and our different perspectives come together to create effective teams. In our global and interconnected environment, we must understand that success results from understanding ourselves and others, and that teams work best when all members feel valued and respected. As leaders of character, we must appreciate viewpoints, experiences, and perspectives other than our own, and use them to live honorably, lift others who share this human experience with us, and elevate the performance of our teams.
