What you will learn:
This elective will serve as a follow up and deeper dive based on the preceding classes, All the Letters and or Befriending the Disruptor. In this slower paced elective we will: explore relevant tools, hear from co-workers, role play, and look at next steps for your employees on their DE&I journey. These next steps will generally include planning culturally sensitive events, speaking up for others, designing and participating in activities of influence in the workplace and beyond, diverse hiring practices, and what the data truly says. In other words, a chance to pick up tangible tools, LISTEN to each other, practice empathy and participate in the design of your company culture.

What employees are saying:
“
As always, the session exceeded my expectations. It was a very powerful session.
“
This was a very challenging session that allowed us time to practice being an ally in a variety of situations. Great discussions. I felt comfortable sharing my perspective without fear of getting ostracized for an opinion or a simple request for clarification if I didn't understand something. It was a safe environment.
