Breakout Session: Distributing Power & Participation in Virtual Conversations

Breakout Session: Distributing Power & Participation in Virtual Conversations

When having key strategic conversations on a virtual platform, what tools and techniques can you use to acknowledge and skillfully navigate the dynamics of privilege, power and difficult conversations in the “room”? How do we distribute power, accommodate for all voices, and ensure that we are creating equitable and fully participatory spaces for decision-making? Join Sarah Karim and Maggie Chumbley for this session on how to skillfully design virtual discussions, in a way that accounts for difficult conversations, when making strategic decisions in a group setting. We’ll explore the interplay of relational dynamics with structures for conversation, and tech moves that make it possible.
