Facilitator Training 1: The Science of Belonging & Behavior
Learn about barriers to belonging–how to recognize them and prevent them from influencing behavior—as well as practical strategies for interrupting microaggressions without causing conflict. We’ll tackle dealing with inappropriate jokes, when it’s appropriate to call out someone who is behaving in a bigoted manner, and how to recognize and respond to defensiveness–the number one barrier to a healthy environment.
This course also explains why traditional workplace training doesn’t work. We’ll provide techniques backed by science and evidence that can move your organization toward progress.
Whether you’re a working professional interested in fairness within your organization, a supervisor who wants to build culturally competent teams, an executive looking for communication solutions that accomplish measurable, practical goals, or an individual hoping to activate your allyship and to improve your personal relationships, this course is for you.
