About the Webinar

This is session 3 in our series, Propel Your Future Leaders. Be sure to explore the other sessions as well:

In the third of our series of webinars on how to propel your future leaders, we’ll explore how equitable access to opportunities for development can play a key role in supporting your next generation of leaders. Our recent research on emerging leaders suggests that 60% of young people around the world feel that access to opportunities for leadership development is inequitable. Fully supporting emerging leaders can include actions such as working against systemic exclusion from the past, providing more equitable access to opportunities in the present, and preparing our organizations for success in solving the future’s most pressing problems.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what can happen when young people at your organization feel included, supported, and motivated, and how providing equal access to opportunities for personal growth and leadership development can increase their engagement in your organization. We’ll also discuss how those in positions of power can harness our own lived experiences to support younger people on their leadership development journeys.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • What barriers next-generation leaders face to engaging and advancing in leadership
  • Ways to broaden your development initiatives
  • How to analyze the effectiveness of your recruitment and promotion practices
  • Practical action steps and research-based resources to help you achieve sustainable change in your organization
  • Resources for expanding access to opportunities
