Webinar Recording: Reflecting on Race and Allyship | How to Drive Meaningful Change

Linkage’s Critical Leadership Conversations Series

The conversations of the past have done little to impact systemic inequalities and institutionalized racism. Now is the time for real conversations that drive transformative change.

How can we courageously move beyond the past to create real change at our organizations and in our communities?

During this installment of Linkage’s Critical Conversations Series, we will continue a critical conversation on privilege and race—and uncover actionable next steps for being a better ally.

Jennifer McCollum, CEO of Linkage, will be joined by Bev Wright, expert leadership consultant and inclusion advocate, and Eddie Turner, international best-selling author and award-winning coach, for an interactive conversation grounded in lived experiences and actionable strategies for change.

In This Pre-Recorded Session, You Will:

• Uncover what makes this moment different—and learn how to leverage the conversation to meaningfully support equality and advancement at your organization
• Learn how to start, navigate, and follow up on difficult conversations about race and privilege in a way that drives positive change
• Review case studies of strong white allyship and understand what being a true ally looks like
