On the first Friday of each month we host a webinar to highlight the work of our alumni and learn about what our faculty are doing. Once each quarter we will feature an alum who is an internal consultant/change agent, an alum who works as an external consultant and a faculty member (past or present). The conversations will be relaxed and focused on practical, actionable ideas. We record the sessions and post them here in case you cannot join us live.
We’ll be posting in the LinkedIn and Facebook groups in advance of each month’s session to give you the time and Zoom details.
If you want to be featured on a session or would like to be part of the production/host team and meet our fabulous presenters, let us know: Email kyle@ziel2.com (Kyle Swanson, MPOD 9) or sarah@gracepartnersllc.net (Sarah Spengler, MOD 6)
