The world has changed. As our communities and spaces diversify, our leadership skills need to evolve.

Sara Jones 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.
