The Centering Lab is a hands-on leadership series that uses the complete arc of pottery making as a living metaphor for how leaders grow. From the first moment of wedging raw clay at the wheel, to the patience of trimming and firing, to the artistry of glazing and the anticipation of the final reveal, each stage mirrors something real about the leadership journey: the effort to align before acting, the discipline of refining what isn't working and the courage to put your work into the fire and see what emerges. Over three 3-hour sessions at Sisters Clay Collective in Sisters, Oregon, participants don't just learn about leadership; they practice it with their hands in clay, carry the metaphors back to their teams and leave with a finished piece they made themselves and the leadership insights that go with it. All materials, including clay, provided. Please NOTE: This is a leadership class, not intended for general or production pottery students.

Psychological safety is the shared belief that a team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking. It is one of the most consistently identified predictors of high-performing teams, yet it is often talked about in the abstract without a clear picture of how to actually build it. This workshop grounds the concept in two concrete, actionable domains: the specific leadership behaviors that create safety day to day, and the organizational systems that welcome people in, support their growth, and encourage their participation.

Recruiting good employees can be challenging in the best of times. Since the pandemic of 2020-2021, many businesses have struggled to find interested and capable employees with the potential for growth who will commit longer-term (e.g. a year or more). Ten to hundreds of hours can be spent building recruitment systems, completing outreach, soliciting applications and resumes, conducting interviews, checking references, following up and communicating with applicants, and making selections. Once hired, even more hours and costs are invested including training and orientation. To hire employees who are retained less than a year, is hard on some industries. Hiring employees with great potential who want to stay and learn a business is the focus of this course along with retention and creating an highly desirable work environment.

You'll leave with clarity, a personal action plan, and tools you can use right away, at home, at work, or wherever you want your next chapter to begin.

Burnout is not simply a matter of working too hard, it is what happens when the demands of a role chronically outpace the resources a person has to meet them. This then leads to cynicism and self-doubt. This workshop gives participants a clear, research-grounded model for recognizing burnout in themselves and their teams. We share practices for overcoming and avoiding burnout. We discuss and define how to build organizational conditions that prevent burnout from taking hold in the first place. In this interactive workshop, participants will work through the six organizational factors most strongly linked to burnout (workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values alignment). We then assess how to create an environment that minimizes these causes. Rather than treating burnout simply as a personal failing to be managed with resilience tips, this session reframes it as a culture-design problem, giving leaders concrete levers they can actually pull.

Research is clear that the habits most likely to stall women's advancement are rarely about capability. They're about the deeply ingrained patterns that can limit visibility, voice, and influence at work: people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-explaining, and holding back in rooms where they fully belong. This workshop invites participants to examine the unwritten rules they have been following and begin the work of rewriting them. Attendees leave with greater self-awareness, practical strategies, and the confidence to lead on their own terms.
