The Power of Our Stories To Heal

Don't miss a special presentation from People & Workplace Culture:

The Power of Our Stories to Heal, featuring keynote speaker, Sara Jones.

When: Friday, October 9, 10–11a.m. MDT

Where: via zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5159213910

The world has changed. As our communities and spaces diversify, our leadership skills need to evolve. Especially during this particularly challenging time in our nation and society, we need leaders who have skills that inspire our current and future students.

Sara Jones is CEO of InclusionPro®, where she consults thoughtful leaders on building inclusive cultures, with a particular focus on team performance and team innovation. Her life and career path have taken her through unexpected twists and turns — from patent attorney to tech CEO. Her ability to connect with people has enabled her to build strong communities of influence.

In 2018, after 42 years of separation, Sara discovered her South Korean birth family — thanks to a mysterious tattoo that her birth father gave her when she was two years old. Her story made national news in South Korea:
https://youtu.be/WVAvDlXAOB4. TED featured her sometimes heartbreaking talk about the emotional complexity of adoption, which has over 1.5 million views: go.ted.com/sarajones.

Sara will share her insight on validating our own personal stories— everyone has one! She’ll discuss how to blend our stories together to contribute to a community of inclusion. Finally, she’ll bring deeper understanding to how we use our stories to bridge the issues that divide us.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college. SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H.
