To discover what transformative experiences are and how leaders can intentionally design opportunities for those experiences to emerge, watch Dr. Brad McLain discuss his journey with writing his new book on this method and how the toolkit it contains works. This video was originally recorded on the plenary stage of the 2023 NCWIT Summit in Denver on May 19, 2023.
Inclusive Leadership Through Transformative Experience Design
Transformative experiences are our most important life events, changing our sense of self in significant ways. How do they work? What elements do they require? How can we learn to design them as an entirely new view of inclusive leadership?
Based on his decades-long investigation of transformative experience design, Dr. McLain discussed how he has brought this work to NCWIT as Director of Corporate Research. His talk explored how an entirely new domain opens for leading change and building more inclusive cultures at work, school, home, and other contexts when leaders recast themselves as experience designers.
