Connected Learning Seminar: Valor

Values-driven leadership, much like a sport or yoga, is a practice. To help you perfect your craft, we invite you to join Connected Learning Seminars. These free, weekly, virtual seminars are an opportunity to reflect on your life and the personal dimensions leadership in the company of others doing the same. 

Starting on June 10 at 5:00PM EST, join others around the virtual seminar table to be in dialogue around the theme of Valor. It is commonplace to celebrate heroism, but what does it really mean to exercise valor? What do we mean by valor? What are the qualities, the strengths, and limitations of valor? What is the balance between steadfast resilience and the flexibility to adapt? What are the costs of courage, and when does courage become recklessness? How do we think about the loneliness of valor even when we are fighting for a common cause?

Each Connected Learning Seminar series comes in a set of three sessions. In order to foster deep conversations and enable peer connections across these sessions, we ask that you register only if you are able to attend throughout our June series. Can't attend all of our June dates? We will have more opportunities to engage in later months and look forward to engaging with you then! 

Dates and focus themes are as follows:

  • June 10, 5:00PM - 6:30PM EST | Resilience and Flexibility
  • June 17, 5:00PM - 6:30PM EST | Courage and Sacrifice
  • June 24, 5:00PM - 6:30PM EST | Solitude and Solidarity

These sessions are highly participatory. Expect to be engaged and participate throughout the duration of the hour. Please be prepared with your camera and a microphone on!

Aspen seminars leverage a unique method of moderated, text-based, dialogue that transforms leaders’ ability to understand their own values and achieve meaningful leadership growth. Connected Learning Seminars are a chance to get a glimpse into the Seminar experience, including the signature Aspen Executive Seminars on Leadership, Values, and the Good Society

About Aspen Institute Leadership Seminars

Aspen Leadership Seminars start from a simple premise: the difficult decisions leaders make are moral, not technical. Leaders must understand the values that animate their decisions.

Our experiences create dynamic, challenging environments where you learn to leverage the values that drive your leadership and become a better leader. Participants walk away with:

  • Steadfast understanding of personal leadership values
  • Improved capacity to listen, communicate, and lead
  • Heightened ability to inspire others and drive change
  • Greater self-awareness and capacity for self-correction
  • Increased sense of purpose and mission
  • Enhanced understanding of what motivates people

Seminars are offered in a variety of formats and durations including in-person, in Aspen, CO, and virtually. We also partner with organizations to create Custom Leadership Seminars
