Colorado Conversations: How Should My Faith Shape the Way I Negotiate?

USD/Ticket
Have you ever avoided salary negotiations at work, because you didn’t know how to broach the topic without being seen as greedy? Or maybe you work in a highly competitive industry that requires you to adopt a more aggressive tone in business deals than what suits your personality. For Christians, how should faith shape the way we negotiate?
Join Denver Institute for Faith & Work at our first Colorado Conversations event of 2023. We will be asking the question, “As Christians, how do we negotiate policies, salaries, and business deals with shrewdness, without greed, and for God’s glory?” We will be hearing from Todd Chapman, former U.S. Ambassador to Brazil and Ecuador, and Ryan Tafilowski, Assistant Professor of Theology at Denver Seminary. We hope you will join us for a time of connection and learning alongside fellow believers.
What: Colorado Conversations – a highly-relational gathering focused on local issues and practical themes related to integrating our faith and work.
When: Thursday, February 16th, 7:00 am – 8:30 am
Where: The Denver Institute for Faith & Work office (8100 E Arapahoe Rd Suite 303, Centennial, CO 80112)
Details: Your $15 ticket includes coffee and a light breakfast. (Monthly Partners attend for free.)
Bring a friend for a great time of discussion and networking!
