Self-Monitoring & Evaluation: Practices of Accountability

In response to a deep, existential & conditioned fear of causing or being complicit in oppressive harm, anti-oppression coach & facilitator Yejin Lee (she/they) has developed a thorough repertoire of frameworks and tools to identify, disrupt, remove, and transform practices. Yejin believes that the more folks are able to surface information about themselves and the world around them, the more they are capable of making choices in alignment with their espoused liberatory values.

During this 2-hour interactive digital workshop, Yejin will:

• Share a bit about how they arrived at this specific brand of hypervigilance;
• Facilitate discussion on how people relate to change, transformation, and accountability;
• Offer a framework to surface necessary information to support monitoring & evaluation of values embodiment (e.g. default orientation to conflict, relationship to critique, type of information processing, preferred communication style);
• Workshop responsive & individualized tools/practices to support identification, disruption, and removal/transformation of particular practices that serve as barriers to values embodiment;
• Brainstorm creative ways to rely on trusted comrades & friends so that self-monitoring & evaluation doesn’t happen in the vacuum of self;
• Facilitate a discussion on creating “guard rails” so that hypervigilance doesn’t lead to burnout;
• Incorporate playfulness & lightness into the session!

This workshop is for…

• Folks who care about embodying their values in actionable, tangible, and material ways in all aspects of their lives;
• Values-embodied sweeties who want to remove hierarchy from their everyday practices;
• Cuties who want more support and guidance in being generatively introspective about their political praxis;
• Pumpkin pies who are ready to reject colonialism, imperialism, capitalism!!

This workshop will center…

• Folks of multiply-marginalized identities;
• Comrades who have experienced oppressive harm through practices of hierarchy;
• Anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, anti-capitalism!!

This workshop will decenter…

• Whiteness & white supremacy
• Traditional forms and expressions of leadership
• Professionalism

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Backup Date: In case of emergency, illness, or technical difficulty, Yejin has scheduled a backup date for this workshop - that date is Tuesday, June 11th from 3-5pm EST. Please put a hold on your calendar just in case!
• Recording: This session will be recorded and made available to all registrants for 30 days following the event. Captions will be enabled, and the transcript will also be sent along with the recording. Since this is taking place via Zoom Meeting and will encourage interactivity, folks will have the option to request pausing the recording before they speak. The chat will also be shared, but Yejin will scrub everyone’s names from the document for added safety.
• Pricing: Yejin utilizes a justice approach to pricing, and trusts everyone to honestly locate what they are able to spend. 20 free community tickets are available to multiply-marginalized sweeties, and more seats will become available with every purchase of a “sponsor” type ticket.
• Follow-Up: All registrants will receive a comprehensive follow-up message, which includes the recording/transcript/chat/slide deck, additional resources (e.g. articles, podcast episodes), and a workbook to support internalization and application of the session.
