Creating Belonging in the Workplace
Learning & Development
Facilitated by Connor McLaughlin, CSU San Diego
Open to all employees
Community building is a key component of meeting people's needs for belonging in social settings. Community building can also foster team cohesion. Each member of a team can play a role in contributing to the community and creating a sense of belonging in their workplaces. In this workshop we will discuss the importance of belonging, explore strategies for implementing belonging at work, and examine the various -isms, microaggressions, and biases that detract from people's belonging in workplaces. All CIE programs aim to build equitable and inclusive community spaces for learning, often while simultaneously addressing issues that can be sensitive and/or challenging. To ensure that these conversations stay productive, participants are expected to follow our community agreements and the SDSU Principles of Community. Facilitators will always aim to address with empathy any behaviors that are inconsistent with these agreements; however, we do r…

Carlsen Center & FourthWave | Building Confidence Through Courage
Sac State Carlsen Center
A joint webinar hosted by the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Bridges Consulting, and FourthWave. Thursday, September 10, 2026 · 12:00 PM PT Featured speaker: Lauren Franklin, MA — Executive Coach, Bridges Consulting
Confidence gets all the attention, but courage is what actually moves you. This interactive session explores why courage, not confidence, is usually the real starting point for stepping into leadership, visibility, and high-stakes moments.
Led by executive coach Lauren Franklin, this session will help participants reflect on where fear quietly runs the show, then walk away with practical tools to do something about it: grounding techniques, nervous-system regulation, and purpose-driven action that let you stay present and move through fear instead of around it. The goal isn't to eliminate the nerves. It's to act anyway.
Accessibility: If any special accommodations are needed please let us know at least two weeks in advance to secure the needed accommodations.
