The “Exhausted Majority”

Hidden Tribes, Beliefs, and Navigating Our Tense Political Climate

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

July 19, 2019
8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Littleton, CO

Most Americans say this is the most politically divided we have been in our lifetimes. What is driving us apart, how can we better understand these differences, and — most importantly — how can we move beyond them?

REGISTER

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE

Workshop participants will leave with the capacity to empathize with Americans of different political perspectives, and to feel equipped to proactively mitigate polarization as individuals, as leaders, and as organizations.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Workshop participants will:

Gain a much deeper understanding of the underlying value sets and belief systems animating the current period of intense polarization in the US.
Learn a Core Beliefs framework and the Hidden Tribes typology that explain why the country feels so divided and identify the frames for constructive engagement with new audiences.
Apply tenets of the Core Beliefs framework in role-play to practice how to navigate polarization to more effectively connect with a broader range of stakeholders and audiences.
