Empowering Your people for Success

FOR LEADERS 

INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP and PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY 

In order to have a culture where people feel they belong and can do their best work, leaders must set the tone. To that end, we examine an inclusive leadership framework – the four areas leaders can improve for employees to thrive. Additionally, research shows that the most successful teams have high levels of psychological safety. This session provides tips to boost it in the workplace. 

INCLUSIVE HIRING

This session touches on the positive impacts of having a workforce that is representative of the communities it serves.  It also addresses how unconscious bias can affect hiring decisions as well as steps to take to take for more inclusive hiring.  

FOR ALL EMPLOYEES

INCLUSION & BELONGING FUNDAMENTALS and UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

This session introduces the concepts of inclusion and belonging and their importance at work. We also explore unconscious bias – where it comes from and how we can interrupt it for better interactions and decision-making. 

MICRO-MESSAGING and BYSTANDER TO UPSTANDER BEHAVIOR

We may be harming the experience and performance of colleagues by the subtle messages we’re unknowingly sending, also known as micro-messaging. We’ll identify micro-aggressions and discuss how to incorporate micro-affirmations instead. 

Another area most workplaces can improve in is skilling up employees to take action when they see or hear something disrespectful or contrary to company values. We’ll provide practical tips to go from being a bystander to an upstander. 

THINKING & COMMUNICATION STYLES

Based on the Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument, attendees explore all four thinking and communication styles, identify which of the four styles they’re dominant in, and practice flexing into a style other their own for improved outcomes when working with others. 

CULTURAL ADAPTABILITY

This session highlights the five themes that tend to characterize cultural differences and similarities, how we see ourselves, and how we perceive others who are different than us.  We also explore tips for navigating and avoiding misunderstandings across cultural differences. 

GENERATIONAL APPRECIATION

This session increases our understanding of the characteristics of the five generations in our current workforce. We’ll learn steps to harness the power of that variety among our colleagues and apply it in real-life situations. 

LGBTQ+ INCLUSION

This session guides attendees through key LGBTQ+ terminology and relevant legal protections. It also provides practical recommendations regarding pronoun usage, being an ally, and creating a workplace where LGBTQ+ employees feel welcomed, included, and valued.
