Unstuck: A Social Design Conversation

Employment, food insecurity, and unequal access to basic healthcare: these issues and many more are exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although a virus isn't the cause, it certainly is a spotlight!

In order to face these problems and other issues of systemic inequality, we need Social Design to be the approach, toolbox and lens that addresses these dynamic and persistent realities.

With Social Design, we can innovate better!

Social Design is the application of design methodologies to tackle complex human issues, placing the social dynamics as the priority. So, let's talk about it! We've brought together some of our closest friends to help shift the conversation from symptoms to disease, external to internal, and from quick fix to root cause.

You'll hear from our panelists and friends:

  • Dr. Ebony Hilton, Founder and Medical Director of GOODSTOCK Consulting

  • Kevin McDonald, Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at University of Virginia

  • Sarad Davenport, Content Manager / Digital Strategist, Vinegar Hill Magazine

  • Jordy Yager, Journalist

  • Jennifer Jacobs, Executive Director, Albemarle Housing Improvement

New methods, ideas, and strategies (innovations) are needed. Be both inspired with new thinking and empowered with even greater action from Unstuck: A Social Design Conversation.

Spill Teem Live: Design & Disruption

Every once in a while, something arises that challenges our confidence, education, "100 million" years of experience, decisions, and understanding. Ultimately, it affects our ability to lead - getting over the metaphoric wall seems impossible, so "we should just survive," right?

We couldn't disagree more!

Innovation and growth still need to take place, but more importantly, it relies on the drive to "lead through..."

To lead through chaos...

To lead through uncertainty...

To lead through disruption...

Join us for Design & Disruption A Leadership Conference. You'll hear talks from our dynamic thought-leaders on:

  • A Relationship with Disruption

  • Navigating Culture via Communication

  • Don't be afraid of the idea!

“Empathy in my toolbox? There’s gotta be another skill I can learn. Plus, I think you guys might be a little crazy!”

Sure, you can learn those other amazing skills.  You know...the ones that make it to your bottom drawer, totally forgotten about and not practiced, to only pull them out when you suddenly remember (they were forgotten about and not practiced). And, you’re probably right; we’re pretty out there “crazy”!  We’re out there with the people that are ready to be connected to on a real authentic and inspiring level.

Go Connect Networking ReImagined

GO Connect simply stated, is networking reimagined… filled with tailored value, creative talks, innovative environments and tons of aha moments.

This time, we’ll be talking about “Listening with _________ in mind!” When we are networking, we often wonder…

  • Was the other person invested?

  • Were they paying attention?

  • Were they listening?

These questions are our internal dialogue while gearing up for “the response.” What if how we clarify is one of the unspoken links of networking to create authentic connections? What if it’s about what we clarify?  Join us as we trek across the communication desert to tell you what ____________ is. Don’t miss the reveal and a chance to reimagine networking!

The event is free but pre-registration is required due to limited space. Light refreshments will be served, and we will provide parking validation for the Market Street Parking Garage.
