Unconscious Bias
90 MIN | VIRTUAL | IN-PERSON
This engaging and interactive session provides a frank conversation about the complex difficulties of being a part of a more diverse and inclusive organizations and/or teams. We explore the intercultural afterthought, the concept of “fit” and cultural conflict in a diverse team, and what is required to convert a team’s diversity into innovation.
Intercultural Fluency
90 MIN | VIRTUAL | IN-PERSON
Genuine allyship means going beyond personal statements of support, to proactively intervening in situations where members of our community are exposed to non-inclusive and often hurtful statements and behaviours.
This interactive session will train participants to be “active bystanders,” prepared to take initiative in responding to and disrupting non-inclusive language and behaviour.
By refusing to be passive observers, the active bystander creates a psychologically safer work environment.
