This MARC Leaders Workshop is a unique Catalyst program that enables directors through senior executives to sharpen awareness of inequality, develop critical inclusive leadership strategies, and hone skills to make a lasting impact.

In this 1.5 day workshop, participants will engage with a cross-company network to enhance their own leadership effectiveness and discuss ways to effect change in their respective organizations.

Participants will:

• Examine the factors that both limit and drive men’s participation.
• Explore gender stereotypes, mutual benefits of equality, and strategies for establishing effective partnerships between men and women.
• Discuss workplace culture and the experience of insider/outsider status.
• Uncover unconscious bias, privilege, and opportunities and skills for leaders to drive change.

I became more aware of my biases and gained a better appreciation for the critical role that men play in driving systemic change.
