Courageous Conversation
If we don’t try to talk to others about their experiences and challenges, we’ll end up with policies and designs that are inconsiderate. Primarily, non-dominant groups such as women, people of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, among others, are the ones who are affected by this. To fight our biases and blind spots, we need to keep an ongoing open dialogue about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
This series of seminars will allow you to learn history, share experiences, and develop pathways of understanding to support DEI. We aim to enrich dialogues and fuel the creation of new knowledge, innovation, and deeper understandings.
“Stephen Frost in his book, “The Inclusion Imperative” notes that “discriminating against women, homosexuals, and disabled people is costing $64 billion dollars a year in the US alone.””
The conversations will also enable you to identify, process, challenge, and grow their support of the various topics in the workplace. Through discussion and interactive exercises, the workshop will increase awareness about terminology, experiences, resources, and practices that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion to enrich our business community.
