Empowering Your business 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 LEADERSHIP for NON-PROFITS

This session will empower non-profit leaders with practical strategies to effectively lead their diverse membership. Participants will explore how to embrace different perspectives, foster inclusivity, and create an environment where every member feels valued and heard. By focusing on inclusive leadership and psychological safety, the session will help attendees cultivate a supportive, motivating atmosphere that encourages volunteer engagement and long-term commitment. Ultimately, the session aims to equip leaders with the tools to strengthen the organization's impact and ensure its continued success.

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 to make the hiring process less discriminatory so that the most qualified talent can be identified and hired. 

FOR ALL EMPLOYEES

INCLUSION & BELONGING FUNDAMENTALS and UNCONSCIOUS BIAS

This session introduces the concepts and importance of creating a sense of belonging 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.
