Note: this is designed as a small(er) group discussion, not to exclude but to honor requests for smaller group connection. This event will be limited to the first 10 individuals. If we have more than 10, we will start a wait list and consider adding another one on the same topic. As such, please "show up if you sign up" so that all of our spots are full. 

Join us for a Volunteer Interest Meeting to hear from current Board Members on the opportunities to volunteer within the Chapter.

Coaching Leaders in a Polarized World:

Applying the Six Domains of Leadership Model

November 3, 2025 

11:30am - 1:00pm ET

CCEUs - CC 1.0, RD 0.5

In today’s deeply divided and rapidly changing world, leaders face unprecedented challenges. Polarization within organizations, communities, and even teams can create barriers to trust, collaboration, and progress. Coaches are uniquely positioned to help leaders navigate these tensions—but only when equipped with the right framework.

This webinar explores how the Six Domains of Leadership Model, developed by Duke University professors Sim Sitkin and Allan Lind, provides coaches with a powerful, evidence-based approach to guiding leaders through complex, polarized environments.

Participants will:

• Understand the dynamics of polarization and its impact on leadership effectiveness.
• Explore how the Six Domains of Leadership Model help leaders build trust, inspire others, and foster collaboration despite differences.
• Learn practical coaching strategies to help leaders reduce friction, bridge divides, and create alignment.
• Gain insights into using the Six Domains of Leadership Survey (SDLSTM) to surface hidden tensions and identify opportunities for growth.

Whether you’re coaching executives, teams, or emerging leaders, this session will equip you with actionable tools to help clients lead with clarity, responsibility, and vision in an increasingly divided world.
