About this event

I’m taking some of the most popular topics I discuss with my clients and offering them as public workshops. Every month or so, I’ll offer a live, virtual, 90 minute workshop to help people increase their capacity to foster equity and inclusion in all sorts of contexts, across different identities and forms of oppression. These workshops will be participatory and experiential, since reading/watching/listening only takes you so far. Benefit from personal reflection, small and large group discussion, Q and A, and presentation in a supportive environment. I’ll regularly be rolling out new workshops on topics such as responding to microaggressions, talking about challenging topics, using our privilege for good, and utilizing an equity lens. Come increase your awareness, knowledge and skills, gain some new tools, and meet other people who also care about these issues. Everyone welcome. Attend one workshop or many.

What past participants have said:

“The workshops were a wonderful experience. Diane creates a safe space for all to share, learn, think and feel. I would highly recommend these workshops to anyone looking to increase their awareness around how to show up in a world where racial justice matters and all of us have the power to create change.”

"In a gentle, open, yet honest manner, Diane Goodman challenges your assumptions about race and what you think you know about it via questions you ask yourself, each other, and lessons carefully prepared and easily understood. There is nothing judgmental about these sessions, and I have always learned a lot."

“This was a wonderful opportunity to explore my bias...what and how and what next! Diane is warm and helped me to look at myself without judgement.”
