How do we embed our core values in our leadership vision and actions? How do our perspectives on human nature play a role in our professional decisions?

Join us Wednesday, May 21st (4:30-5:30pm ET) for a free Flash Seminar on Rooting Leadership in Humanity.

This one-hour virtual Flash Seminar is chance to experience the Aspen method of text-based dialogue from the comfort of your home or office. Participants engage with a short reading as a jumping off point to explore fundamental questions about humanity and leadership; uncovering how your answers influence your personal and professional leadership decisions. 

Why Attend?

This Flash Seminar is chance to reconnect with your own leadership journey. All Aspen Leadership Seminars leverage a unique method of moderated, text-based dialogue that transforms leaders’ ability to understand their own values and achieve meaningful leadership growth.

The flash seminar is also a glimpse into our flagship seminar: the Aspen Executive Seminars on Leadership, Values, and the Good Society.
