The Aspen Institute

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? 

Aspen Leadership Seminars start from a simple premise: the difficult decisions leaders make are moral, not technical. Leaders must understand the values that animate their decisions. Our seminars meet people where they are in their leadership journey and then guides them to the next level. 

Join us Wednesday, April 24, 2024, from 4:30PM – 5:30PM ET, for a free, virtual Flash Seminar on Rooting Leadership in Humanity with Managing Director of Seminars at the Aspen Institute, Kalissa Hendrickson. Come ready–with camera and microphone on–to engage with a short reading and use it as a jumping off point to explore these questions; uncovering how your answers influence your personal and professional leadership decisions.
