Event Details

You are more than your job title—you contain multitudes. Think of all the personal and professional experiences that have shaped you as a person and as a leader, and all the identities you carry. How can you bring all of these iterations of yourself to work, and celebrate the multitudes we all bring to our jobs? What does it mean for workplace and team culture when people are encouraged to embrace and explore other disciplines and bring those experiences to bear on their work?

Whether you’re trying to climb a career ladder or traverse a career lattice, drawing upon different disciplines can help you become a more innovative, adaptable, empathetic, networked, and resilient leader.

Join us on June 14 and hear from bosses whose careers paths were anything but linear. They’ll share the myriad moments and decisions that brought them to their current leadership roles and the workplace cultures they’ve created as a result of those experiences.

FEATURED SPEAKERS:

Alexei Moon Casselle, COMPAS Teaching Artist

Jeremiah Ellison, Ward 5 Council Member, City of Minneapolis

Darla Kashian, Senior Vice President, RBC Wealth Management

Moderated by Pollen’s Editorial Director, Jerome Rankine
