The time is now. We stand on the cusp of creating real change which means that your front-line leaders urgently need to have meaningful conversations about race with your workforce. 2020 has created a new level of pressure within most companies to become better at handling race-based conversations within the framework of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Leverage this learning program to prepare your team for hosting productive conversations that showcase your organization's dedication to change and creating a welcoming environment for all.
Our first goal is build your confidence in how to have effective conversations about race in the workplace. The educational content, peer support and tools are designed to do that.
Our second goal is to create a network of colleagues that can support along the way and to share resources and ideas with each other. This will help you to have the conversations about race that you are now expected to have.
Working together, we will find the right path, solve problems, find new peers, and build each other up so you can move your teams forward to a new reality that is more inclusive. We will provide the content for awareness and education. Each person in the class will provide their experiences and cheerleading. The tools shared will frame action steps to take.
The time for change now. You can be part of the brave new world at work. Join us to gain the skills you need to be the leader needed today.
