What just happened?
An invitation to reflect on the US election
Lunchtime conversation with Leo Artalejo
November 12, 12:00-1:30 pm. On Zoom.
As we navigate the election season here at home, what can we learn from what just happened in the U.S.? Join us tomorrow as Leo Artalejo shares his experience and reflections, as an American immigrant, strategic thinker and communications advisor now settled with his family in Halifax.
During the final half hour, we will engage in small breakout groups and then return for a final Q & A with our guest. Hosted by Emily Cowin.
For more than 30 years, Leo has worked in strategic communications to help foster deeper understanding between groups of people in complex stakeholder environments involving issues such as mass casualty events, equity and inclusion, climate action, environmental restoration and public transit. He has worked as a communications advisor for political candidates elected to all three levels of government in Canada and worked with Beto O'Rouke's 2018 senate campaign in the US.
Earlier conversations
What does resilience mean when your community’s economic well-being is tied to an industry that contributes to climate change? Why do we keep trying to fix and control nature, when she is our most important ally? How do we walk the tightrope between “desperate hope” and “reckless hopelessness”? Join our community space and listen in to these and other lunchtime conversations.
