Many people consider themselves an “ally” of one or more marginalized groups or communities, like folks who identify as LGBTQ or as a member of a religious minority. However, “allyship” is different; it’s the action part of being an ally. And because we’re human—which means we’re often afraid or confused—many of us don’t engage in true allyship.
With this presentation, national speaker and trainer Ellie Krug offers strategies for how to approach workplace situations where it’s necessary to speak up on behalf of others. She’ll also cover how to talk about microaggressions with those who might not have a clue about having just said the wrong thing. We’ll do some role-playing and engage in a bit of humor as we learn more about allyship for everyone.
Gray Area Thinking TM is a prerequisite.
