B Corp: Your Guide to Building a Culture of Impact

Join The ReFrame Group and B Corp experts, Kristy O’Leary and Brianna Brown of Decade Impact, for an exploration of how to use the B Corp Impact Assessment to build a company culture that is ready to leave the world better. 

Thurs, Sept 30th
08:30-09:45 AM PST
A fireside chat with Kristy O’Leary and Brianna Brown of Decade Impact.

The signs are everywhere – we need to change how we are living and doing business – and fast. Being an impact business is no longer a ‘nice to have’ – it is a business imperative. Now, you’ve probably already started, you’ve gone paperless and developed that recycling program, you’re charitable and care about your community. We suspect you want to do more and know you can. The next step for every business is to build a culture that affects positive social, environmental, and economic impact. It’s a tall order, to be sure, but there is a Rosetta stone and it is the B Corp Impact Assessment (BIA).

So how do we unlock the culture-building magic of the B Corp Impact Assessment? Enter Kristy O’Leary and Brianna Brown, co-founders of Decade Impact. Decade will offer core insights for using the BIA to build an Impact literate cultures that accelerate your ability to respond to global and local challenges. All while increasing resilience, team retention, and impact leadership. With over 100 clients under their belt – they are just getting started. Join us to discover how you can too.

 

Ideas to be explored:

  • What the B Corp movement is and how it is transforming business
  • How the B Corp assessment can guide your business in building a culture of purpose, action, and impact
  • How to approach purpose, action, and impact as a team
  • How to find your ‘zone of impact genius’
  • Where to begin if you want to build an impact culture in your company

Diversity Without Division – with Irshad Manji

Join The ReFrame Group and New York Times best-selling author, Irshad Manji – founder of Moral Courage College – for a discussion around how to practice diversity without division and fostering an inclusive culture through her Moral Courage Method.

Tues, August 17th
09:00-10:00 AM PT
A fireside chat with Irshad Manji on practicing diversity without division and fostering an inclusive culture.

The phrase is everywhere: “Diversity and Inclusion.” To our pattern-seeking brains, it suggests that diversity comes before inclusion. Wrong. Behavioural science confirms that a culture of inclusion must be fostered at the same time. That’s because everybody from “people of colour” to “straight white guys,” progressives and conservatives, younger and older, need to trust that they’ll be treated with respect under the banner of diversity. In the absence of trust, differences plant seeds of defensiveness — and, ultimately, division.

So how do we practice diversity without division? Enter Irshad Manji, founder of Moral Courage College and The New York Times bestselling author, most recently, of Don’t Label Me. Irshad will offer core insights for fostering a culture in which people engage effectively across lines of difference rather than labeling, shaming, or cancelling each other. Her Moral Courage Method works online, too, thanks to an iron-clad law of human psychology that she’ll reveal.

 

Ideas to be explored:

  • What Moral Courage means and why it’s key to unifying people in polarized situations
  • When diversity is being practiced honestly and dishonestly
  • How to reconcile free speech and social justice, not in theory but in real life
  • Who the coolest-ever role model of Moral Courage is (handy for teaching your kids)
  • Where to begin if you want to role-model Moral Courage
