Inclusive Leadership and Wellness: On Integrating Our Values & Career
A 4-session virtual program on creating, sustaining, and modeling a fulfilling career path
This November and December, Sagely is offering a four-session small group cohort on creating a meaningful and sustainable career path.
Many leaders wish to support inclusion, equity, and diversity as part of their careers, but they struggle to do so without feeling like they have to either overcommit or compromise. Whatโs more, our current climate can seem hostile to truly meaningful and fulfilling work.
Sagely is therefore offering a short virtual program that will cover the following topics:
How to incorporate equity minded work no matter what career you have
How to spot the ways that the trauma of discrimination shows up in our current moment and what to do about it
What it means to work from a fulfilled perspective rather than in survival mode
How to center and ground yourself so that you become a reliable resource for others without burnout
For questions, please email lesley@sagelycreative.com.
Note: This group is limited to 4 participants. We strive to make our groups as accessible as possible, which means that recordings are available for anyone who has to miss a session. Please also inquire about our 50% discount for graduate students and those without professional development funds.

Facilitator
Lesley Curtis is the owner and founder of Sagely. Sheโs led cross-institutional and internal group programs that offer participants a felt sense of change and balance since 2021. Her programs rely on trauma-informed methods that teach us to identify and redirect patterns in our own lives. She relies on her training in meditation, history, literature, gender studies, and antiracism to create a felt experience of inclusion.
