Developing Connecticut’s public sector workforce (state and local) has been on the minds of many over the past few years. Recent waves of retirements have exacerbated an already tight public sector labor market. This interactive conversation will highlight the strategies that state and local governments are deploying to develop the public sector workforce, contributing to a robust economy.

About the Program
Our Introduction to Leadership Development Roundtable (LDR) is not a workshop, it is an experience. An experience designed to encourage you to reflect, refocus and refuel on your leadership journey. Many times, leaders find themselves operating on autopilot in their work towards equity.
This program is a condensed version of our 10-month program that will provide a meaningful opportunity to explore the breadth and depth potential of your impact. The day includes small group discussions, activities and exploration of leadership and equity concepts. Key topics include:
- Self-awareness
- Adaptive Leadership
- Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging (getting to the root)
- Race Equity (micro and macro responsibility)
- How “I” and “We” Lead (spheres of influence and building an impact chain)
Key Themes and Intended Outcomes
- Understanding and practicing adaptive leadership;
- Exploring/identifying how you can lead change;
- Dissecting the importance of race equity and DEIB mindsets; and
- Forging lasting relationships with fellow leaders.
