An Afternoon of Networking in Boston: A Discussion on Leading Inclusive Teams and
Spreading Holiday Cheer at Our Winter Social
Wednesday, December 4 | 3:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Presentation: Strategies for Leadership in Inclusive Teams: Integrating Positive Intelligence
Hermence Matsotsa-Cross, MPH, Ed., Founder and CEO of uBuntuSpeaks will lead this one-hour session exploring how leaders can foster inclusion within their teams by cultivating psychological safety, challenging unconscious biases, and integrating Positive Intelligence (PQ) techniques to enhance mental fitness and performance. Drawing from the presentation delivered at the LSSO Raindance Conference, this session provides leaders with practical tools to create inclusive environments that encourage open communication, foster innovation, and improve team dynamics.
In addition to actionable leadership strategies, the session will highlight the transformative power of Positive Intelligence. By understanding and addressing their own mental saboteurs, leaders can develop greater self-awareness, mental resilience, and the ability to lead with clarity and empathy. These PQ techniques are essential for driving sustainable team performance and fostering a psychologically safe, inclusive culture.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this session, participants will:
1. Understand the role psychological safety and Positive Intelligence play in building inclusive, high-performing teams.
2. Learn how to identify and challenge unconscious biases while leveraging PQ strategies to improve mental resilience and team cohesion.
3. Gain actionable tools to enhance team dynamics, drive innovation, and lead with greater empathy and mental fitness.
