Sure, it is only 45 minutes but can we ever pack in a punch of passionate work in that short of time. Bringing light-hearted conversation around some pretty difficult topics into a lunch hour then leave with strategies for combating difficult issues no one really wants to talk about.
The most difficult topics are often tough for companies to address without seeming like they are finger pointing or blaming. These sessions tackle the issue in a neutral manner with stories and case-studies completely unassociated with the individuals attending. Everyone can relate to the topics and will be able to address how the solutions might apply for them.
