Implicit Bias 101: An introductory session on the subject of implicit bias. The session includes information on 1) how our minds operate, the real-world implications of implicit bias, and 3) ways to guard against bias. 

​

Training Objective: Recognizing that implicit bias can be a challenging topic, we begin by establishing an understanding with our audience that we are there to have a conversation about how our minds work, not about who is a “good” or “bad” person.

​

Cultural Humility: Cultural humility is the “ability to maintain an interpersonal stance that is other-oriented (or open to the other) in relation to aspects of cultural identity that are most important to the person.” Cultural humility is different from other culturally-competent based training ideals because it focuses on self-humility rather than achieving a state of knowledge or awareness.

​

Training Objective: Encourage openness & decrease judgement of Co-workers and other stakeholders. We learn about the other from the real time stories of the other. We respect the authority of each person’s self-identity voice.

​

A Working Vocabulary to Advance Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:  Defining concepts and distinguishing their roles, values and impact in creating a workplace culture where everyone thrives.  

​

Training Objective: Increased clarity to support effective engagement and solution-oriented problem solving.

​

Identifying & Effectively Addressing Micro-aggressions: Micro-Aggressions are the everyday, thinly veiled instances of racism, homophobia, sexism and other biases that come across in gestures, comments or insults. But the "micro" doesn't mean that the acts don't have a big impact. While there's no one right way to address a micro-aggression, we have some pointers for ways you can begin to respond.

Training Objective: Increased shared awareness and understanding of micro-aggressions and their impact in optimum performance, teamwork and morale. Use the understanding to develop together effective remedies. 

​

Intersectionality: Who We Are and How Our Identities Intersect

Discovering our overlapping identities and experiences and how these identities make us unique. Through the lens of intersectionality, individuals have individual identities that intersect in ways that impact how they are viewed, understood, and treated.  

​

Training Objective:  Increase awareness of the overlapping individual identities everyone possesses and explore how they intersect and are expressed at the micro level to influence individual experiences, and in the workplace and society to form systems of advantages and disadvantages.
