  From Micro to Massive: Turning Local Sparks into Regional Wildfire (The Good Kind)

  
  

  Danielle Westbrook

  What starts as a single idea—an underfunded nonprofit, a kitchen-table campaign, a grassroots business incubator—can ignite something far greater. In this session, Danielle Westbrook shares stories and strategies from the frontlines of community organizing, nonprofit development, and cultural movement-building in the Pacific Northwest. From economic equity and entrepreneurship to arts advocacy and political campaigns, this is a look at how hyper-local efforts can spark regional momentum when rooted in authenticity, relationship, and rhythm.

  Participants will explore a model for scaling impact that doesn’t rely on hierarchy or burnout—but instead builds power through shared ownership, joyful engagement, and flexible structure. We’ll discuss coalition-building, narrative framing, and what it takes to go from “Let’s try this” to “Everyone’s talking about it.” The session will be dynamic, participatory, and (of course) a little funky—so come ready to reflect, connect, and maybe even dance a little. No slide deck required.

  
  

  Learning Objectives
  

  Understand how to turn small, community-rooted initiatives into scalable movements by identifying key leverage points, partnerships, and storytelling strategies that spark broader impact.
  

  Learn tools for coalition-building and cross-sector collaboration that prioritize trust, joy, and shared leadership—without sacrificing momentum or mission. Leave with real-world inspiration and practical frameworks to energize their own work, whether launching a project, amplifying a campaign, or nurturing culture change inside an organization.

  From Silos to Systems: Building Shared Understanding With Service Blueprinting

  
  

  Melissa Renau Cano, PhD

  Today, services routinely cut across departments, tools, and teams. Yet the people responsible for delivering them often feel siloed, overwhelmed, or disconnected, leading to inefficiencies and employee burnout.

  This interactive workshop introduces service blueprinting as a practical and participatory method to visualize internal workflows, build cross-functional alignment, and create the shared understanding necessary for improving the employee experience. While rooted in service design, service blueprinting is a powerful tool for OD professionals looking to bridge silos, surface invisible dynamics, and support systemic change.

  Participants will explore real-world examples and engage in hands-on activities, including guided exercises and ready-to-use templates. You'll leave with a new method for uncovering hidden complexity and fostering collaboration across teams.

  Learning Objectives
  

  1. Learn how to use service blueprinting to make employee experience visible across departments and systems.

  2. Gain tools for facilitating blueprinting workshops that actively involve staff and frontline teams.

  3. Walk away with a practical framework to identify and address structural pain points affecting service delivery and team well-being.

  
  

  About Your Facilitator
  

  Melissa Renau Cano is an explorer, dot connector, and systems thinker passionate about transforming complexity into actionable insights. With a PhD in Internet Studies and a background in civic tech, public policy, and social innovation, Melissa brings a creative, analytical, and human-centered approach to improving programs, services, and policies.

  Speak Inarguably: Leadership Communication for Psychological Safety and Team Engagement

  

  Christopher Arnold

  This training will be conducted live via Zoom. The zoom meeting details will be sent out prior to the training.

  Workplace conflict can arise even when everyone involved has the best of intentions. What's commonly considered "professional communication" encourages leaders to express arguable opinions as inarguable facts. When combined with positional power, this style of communication creates a psychologically unsafe environment. In response, colleagues feel the need to defend, explain, and raise their voices to feel heard -- increasing the chances of an unproductive conflict. Alternatively, colleagues can go silent and disengage from work. Both strategies -- silence and violence -- create an unhealthy work environment. 

  When leaders speak arguably, they get resistance. When leaders speak inarguably they get safety, engagement, and results.

  About Your Facilitator

  As the founder of Care Deeply Consulting, Christopher Arnold has curated a community of leadership coaches who want to see every leader be a force for positive change in the world. Together, they develop high-performance workplace cultures for people-first businesses by transforming all levels of management into highly-skilled leaders who drive employee engagement and greater business results. 
  

  As a leader in the conscious business movement, Christopher has served as President of the Board for the Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center and as an organizer for B2B B Corps.

  Matriarchal Futures in the Workplace: Redesigning Systems That Don’t Demand Our Disappearance
  

                            
  

  
  

  Lovette Jallow

  Join PNODN in welcoming Lovette Jallow, all the way from Sweden! Lovette's work has earned national and international awards for leadership in anti-racism, neurodiversity, and systemic inclusion, spanning government, education, and civil society.

  This 90-minute session challenges the assumption that working with women particularly racialized, neurodivergent, and system-disrupting women is what makes inclusion hard. The real difficulty lies in organizational systems built on dominance, compliance, and erasure. Lovette Jallow unpacks how patriarchal systems selectively uplift sanitized versions of marginalized women while punishing the leadership, boundaries, and brilliance that challenge extractive norms.

  Through the lens of matriarchal governance, relational intelligence, strategic refusal, and care-based accountability this session offers OD practitioners actionable frameworks for redesigning systems that support rather than silence. Participants will leave with tools to shift workplace culture from extraction to reciprocity, from control to collective strength anchored in equity, not performance optics.

  Learning Objectives for this Session

  1. Identify how traditional workplace structures are shaped by patriarchal and ableist norms.

  2. Analyze how underrepresented women are systematically excluded, co-opted, or punished.

  3. Examine matriarchal governance principles as models for structural care and non-hierarchical leadership.

  4. Apply equity-centered design strategies to organizational policy and culture.

  5. Develop interventions that do not require marginalized women to assimilate in order to survive.

  About the Presenter

  Lovette Jallow is a nine-time award-winning author, strategist, and international speaker specializing in neurodivergence, anti-racism, and structural equity. As a Black autistic woman with lived experience across Europe and West Africa, her work spans systems consulting, humanitarian coordination, and published critique.

  She founded Black Vogue to challenge Eurocentric beauty standards and document how Black women are erased across industries a theme further explored in her books. She also leads Action for Humanity, supporting racial justice and neurodivergent advocacy across Sweden, The Gambia, Libya, and Lebanon. Lovette’s lectures interrogate diagnostic bias, institutional harm, and racialized pathologization offering evidence-informed strategies to build environments rooted in justice, not compliance.
