Open Doors: LGBTQ+ Inclusion in the Workplace
Open Doors: LGBTQ+ Inclusion in the Workplace is an accessible introduction to LGBTQ+ concepts. The session covers the basics of LGBTQ+ language, which is especially useful for learners who are new to the topic. Then, learners are guided through a three-step tool to help them master gender-neutral pronouns, including a helpful model for rebuilding trust when they’ve made a mistake. The session concludes with concrete takeaways that empower learners to continue their journey as supportive allies of their LGBTQ+ customers and colleagues.
Daring Greatly: Courage and Vulnerability in the Workplace
Digging into Dare to Lead together gives teams and organizations a shared language and understanding of what courage looks like within their organization, what gets in the way, and how to build specific courage skills. The Dare to Lead model brings the power of collective courage-building in teams and organizations who are willing to do brave work, have tough conversations, and show up with their whole hearts.
Thinking Differently: Neurodivergence at Work
Neurodivergence can present in many positive ways— people with ADHD are quick to process and integrate new information into their work, and autistic employees are often adept at focusing on projects for long periods of time. But workplaces are largely created for neurotypical staff members, resulting in conflict and even underperformance from those whose neurotypes differ from the norm. As an effective manager, you know that it’s not possible (or appropriate) to force a neurodivergent employee to think the way everyone else does… but how do you leverage the unique strengths and mitigate the challenges of autistic employees? How do you help employees with ADHD organize and prioritize their work?
At Odds: The Art of Disagreement
No matter how skilled you are at your job, at some point, you will find yourself in a disagreement. Sometimes the conflict will go well— you are able to hear other viewpoints, articulate your opinion clearly, and work toward a solution that integrates multiple lenses. But conflict often goes another way, resulting in hurt feelings, a deeper entrenchment in original opinions, and one-sided outcomes.
If triangulation, passive-aggression, and indirect communication are challenges at your organization, this workshop will help transform communication styles so employees feel better equipped to rumble* with each other in healthy, effective ways.
