PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND REGISTRATION

As Fort Wayne grows and diversifies, leaders face increasing pressure to build cultures where people from different backgrounds can thrive. Organizations that navigate these realities well are more likely to retain talent, strengthen trust, and reduce unnecessary conflict. The Reconciliation Lab helps leaders develop the awareness, skills, and confidence needed to lead effectively in this environment.

Through three interactive sessions, participants will strengthen their capacity to:

• Recognize how personal formation and lived experience shape leadership decisions and organizational culture

• Navigate conversations surrounding culture, race, faith, and social difference with greater confidence and discernment

• Build trust and communication across lines of difference

• Identify leadership practices that reduce unnecessary harm and strengthen organizational health

• Apply practical frameworks for decision-making, conflict navigation, and community engagement

• Lead in ways that support both organizational success and the long-term flourishing of Fort Wayne

PROGRAM DETAILS

• Three consecutive weekly sessions beginning August 4th

• Sessions held from 10:30 AM–1:30 PM in downtown Fort Wayne

• A thoughtfully curated and confidential space for Fort Wayne leaders to learn, engage, and grow

• Working lunch and light refreshments provided each week

• Leadership content designed to thoughtfully engage the business environment,  cultural and civic concerns, and the growth and challenges facing Fort Wayne in this era

INVESTMENT

The registration fee for this cohort is $395 per leader. Thanks to the investment of private supporters who believe in this work, the cohort is being offered at a reduced rate. Additional assistance is available through a matching-funds grant for faith leaders as needed.
