Mid-Atlantic Series: The Conversation Clinic - Elevating Your work Conversations and Workshops

We’ve all seen work conversations fall apart or veer off course. There’s a rambunctious attendee. A meeting is going in circles with no sense of closure. No one is contributing. And we all intuitively know what gets lost when that happens -- momentum slows, tension heightens, and at worst, trust deteriorates. And yet, especially in everyday work, we treat this like an inevitability. I am here to offer an alternative: everyday work conversations CAN feel energized, action-inspiring, and efficient. I developed a framework after consistent feedback about my own facilitation style and sought to “bottle up” the most repeatable aspects of my approach. I am excited to share the model and exchange ideas with this audience on how to elevate conversations.

Speaker: Kashay Sanders

Speaker Bio:

Kashay deeply believes in the transformative power of great conversations. She first learned to facilitate as a college student, leading groups in planning events meant to foster understanding across differences. Since then, she has gotten to refine and deploy this skillset across myriad environments--from a girls' empowerment social enterprise in India to a Fortune 100 company.

After 14 years, she has an informed point of view about what makes conversations great vs. counterproductive and is ready to transform workplaces by sharing these insights.

Kashay holds a B.A. in Women’s & Gender Studies from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.
