  • A look at how might you be including or excluding team members 

  • How to hold space and make meetings more inclusive

  • Practices to actively foster and managing diversity

The Leadership Forum - Facilitated by Steve Baty

The Design Leadership forum is a place where theory and practice collide, and discussion and debate are welcomed and healthy. This year, the focus is on how we can adapt to meet the challenges of team building and collaboration during the COVID pandemic.

The format is facilitated discussion and conversation, with elements of practical workshop-like activity and breakout room sessions.
