UPCOMING EVENTS

MEMBER ENGAGEMENT SESSION: Fighting Defensiveness in Equity Conversations 

March 13th | 12:30pm EST

Over the last decade, there’s been a noticeable rise in organizations prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Many times, these initiatives include internal staff training on topics such as implicit bias, healthy communication and building relationships across diverse experiences. However, these workshops and conversations require a high degree of emotional engagement, which inevitably can produce resistance and opposition amongst staff. The ability to anticipate, recognize and respond effectively to the opposition is critical to long-term success. This workshop will help you understand the real reasons why diversity initiatives provoke opposition, and help you create effective responses in service to equity and inclusion.
