Culture Change in Practice: A Leadership Cohort 2024 | Workshop 1
Culture Change in Practice: A Leadership Cohort 2024 is a four-part, peer-based workshop series facilitated by Dr. Anu Taranath to support a community of practice, equipping leaders from architecture and allied firms to translate learning and catalyze change outward in their own firms and beyond.
The first workshop is scheduled for Wednesday, August 7, 12:00-4:00pm PT, in person at the Center for Architecture and Design (1010 Western Ave).
Workshop 1: Power & Privilege
August 7, 12-4pm PT | In-Person @ the Center for Architecture and Design (1010 Western Ave)
We will get to know one another in this session, and learn about the equity journeys of the firms represented. What are some of the general barriers to equity work? How might we handle discomfort in productive ways? How does a deeper awareness of our power and positionality in relation to others help us develop a responsibility toward stewardship, especially as leaders in our firm? This first workshop will explore what exactly equity stewardship looks like, especially since some firm leaders’ life experiences might look quite different from those on whose behalf they are advocating.
