While they can be exceptional employees - thoughtful, intuitive, conscientious, and dedicated high performers - they also require a unique approach to management. In this session, you will learn how to foster inclusivity and retain this neurodiverse group of individuals, who may prove to be some of your organization's most valuable assets. By the end of this session, attendees will be able to: 1. Identify common triggers for highly sensitive employees and understand how to mitigate them. 2. Discover effective ways to capitalize on the innate strengths of your highly sensitive team members. 3. Learn what not to say in order to avoid hurt feelings and maintain positive relationships with sensitive employees. 4. Implement communication adjustments that can significantly improve interactions with highly sensitive individuals. 5. Develop an action plan to empower and support your highly sensitive employees.

Having Our Say: The Influence of a Black Woman at the Table Presented by RTX
As a community, we have grown accustomed to the voices of influence at the proverbial “table” being reflective of very few black women, if any at all. The closer the table gets to the C-suite, the influence of the black female voice diminishes even more. Raytheon Technologies, a leader with a global reach specializing in defense and commercial markets, is inviting you to an eye-opening panel discussion with RTX female executives on amplifying the influence of Black Women at the table. There is work to be done and we are being intentional about having our say in ways that will bring awareness, visibility and change to the tables of influence at every level. Accordingly, our executive panelists will be “having their say” about: their personal journeys to the table; tips to encourage black women to increase their influence in impactful ways; how to continue to render that influence in virtual settings; the approach for gaining the sponsorship of those who are already at the table; and the importance of leveraging the influence of black women beyond the boardroom. The discussion is sure to bring perspective and a basis for action as the panelists are all leaders of influence at Raytheon Technologies and in their respective communities. This seminar will be a conversation that brings consciousness to the power and significance of Black Women having influence throughout their respective career journeys and community endeavors. The RTX executive panelists are having their say and we will be listening as they continue to create avenues of success for black women. Speaker(s): Moderator: Ceah Justice, Head of Global Employee Engagement, Raytheon Technologies Panelist: Dakeesha Wright, Operations & Site Leader, Raytheon Technologies Panelist: LaKindra Francis-Jones, Executive Director, RTX Collins Aerospace Panelist: LaQuasha Johnson, Department Manager, RTX

Leadership Beyond Titles: Harnessing Influence and Inspiration
