Initiatives
Launched in 2023, our Civility Course underwent a rebrand and is now known as Conversations That Connect, a workshop designed to enhance empathy and understanding in the face of disagreements. Dr. Kelli Pearson leads the workshop, which teaches practical skills for communicating with candor and civility, turning every conversation into an opportunity for a deeper connection. Over the past year, 75 individuals have participated in the course which is offered bimonthly. The goal of the program is not to change mindsets but to better understand mindsets. All course participants now receive a certification and LinkedIn badge they can share following completion.
