Featured Virtual Masterclass

A Culture of Care, A Culture of Civility: Trust, Accountability, and Performance in Today’s Workplace.

In today’s fast-paced and high-stress work environments, small acts of disrespect and unprofessionalism can snowball into larger issues that affect morale, mental health, and organizational success. This powerful masterclass unpacks the hidden costs of incivility—how seemingly minor behaviors like rudeness, exclusion, or dismissiveness can erode trust, increase turnover, and lower productivity.

Gain steady and useful information for leaders who are managing through shifting language, culture fatigue, and the need to keep inclusion work tied closely to performance and leadership behavior.

Learn how care and civility show up as business levers, especially for teams trying to build trust, retain talent, and operate with consistency in this environment.

Participants will explore:

• The ripple effects of incivility on employee wellbeing and team dynamics

• Real-world examples and data illustrating the toll on engagement and retention

• Strategies leaders and employees can use to build a more civil, psychologically safe workplace

• How to reset team norms and foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and accountability

Join us to gain practical tools for creating a workplace where kindness is more than a courtesy—it’s a core competency.
