Transforming Your Mindset Keynote, Asset-Framing for Equity 

Co-hosted with Grantmakers of Western PA

Description: Asset-framing has been recognized as a major innovation in fields of social impact. Based on insights from global authorities in cognition, decision-making, narrative and social impact, nationally acclaimed thought leader Trabian Shorters offered forward-thinking leaders a reliable way to increase engagement, support and impact for their enterprises across races, genders and economic classes. Thank you to the 194 nonprofit leaders, funders, and community changemakers who joined us for this transformative session. Our deep gratitude to Trabian for introducing us to the transformative power of asset-framing and helping us all to think about how defining people by their aspirations, not their challenges, can further equity and drive impact in our work and communities. *As advertised, this session was only offered live so a recording is not available.
