Empowering Differences is the intentional action of using power and authority for yourself or others while positioning ways in which you are not the same as the people around you. Leveraging differences, what makes you unique, to empower yourself and others to make real change happen. Founded as a 4-Step Process of Empowerment, Ashley T. Brundage will cover how to use these steps as well as preview how to create Empowering Actions within your organization as the final step.
