Navigate Social Intelligence with a Community of Support
We have witnessed an increase in interest and need for support for those navigating challenging workplace cultures. CSI is responding to that need.
Once a month, starting in April, CSI will host a free one hour drop-in call for anyone seeking answers to their questions regarding their workplace culture issues. We welcome people from all sectors and all levels within their organization. We want this to be a supportive community to help you feel empowered with the knowledge and skills you need to make your workplace as welcoming, safe and effective for everyone.
Please note these group meetings will not be recorded to guarantee your information is not distributed and remains within the group.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
