Often, after we become aware of issues of equity, inclusion and diversity and how these realities show up in our lives and environments - we are left wondering what do we do next.

This six-hour comprehensive training will provide participants with the opportunity to begin the journey of internalizing equity work within themselves and within their organizations.

• Through simulation, interactive exercises and group discussion, participants will gain insight into the ways they communicate, including the messages they send and how they respond to others.

• Participants will learn skills for identifying, challenging and replacing the judgement they pass based on their own world lens.

• Participants will learn to assess their own organizational environment to determine its effectiveness and inclusiveness, become aware of and knowledgeable about common barriers to inclusive and equitable environments and apply tools that foster inclusiveness at a personal, professional, and organizational level.
