Cultivating Compassionate Leadership

Thursday, November 7 | 7PM Hybrid

Presented by Rodney Agnant

Director for Campus Culture & Inclusion 

at Colgate University

Leadership often comes with the stresses of seeing how to best work together alongside a team, while also being of service to others. Leading in this way can be a great blessing, but also challenging when interpersonal styles clash. This session is focused on how to integrate compassion into how we lead, in order to strengthen our social bonds and to help us be effective in our communication.

Rodney works at Colgate University as the Director for Campus Culture and Inclusion. In 2023, he completed his Master's thesis that focused on transformational leadership, and the ways that it shapes meaning-making, resilience, and belonging for the individuals it reaches. His work on campus focuses on leadership development, organizational climate, and designing dialogic experiences for groups on campus. In this role, he primarily works with University employees and their professional development.
