Course times range from 1 hour to multiple days and I can support you in sustaining the work you are doing personally, within your community and organization.
Operationalizing Social justice in your organization
Are you passionate and/or actively engaged with social justice issues in your community? Have you been able to infuse social justice into your organization’s work? While it may feel like a daunting task to change an organization’s culture to impact climate change, racial disparities, and labor laws, it’s not impossible. Learn how to transform the power of purchasing and sourcing, make customer facing documents easier to understand, and incorporate racial equity into your organization’s products, processes and services.
Understanding bias and intolerance
Do you know that everyone has biases? Our brains process and store information in ways that causes each of us to be biased against one another, objects and places. Learn how our brains operate and how bias persists in our daily lives through interactive activities. Once you have a better understanding of why bias persists, learn how to be more intentional in how you process information and dismantle structures that perpetuate inequities in our communities.
creating a community of belonging
How often do you feel like you are on the outside looking in at the circle of inclusion observing what everyone else is doing? At some point in time, we all feel as if we are outside of the circle of inclusion because individual’s biases push people outside of the circle of inclusion. We have the power to change our behaviors and create a community of belonging. Learn why people other one another, how to stop othering people and create a community of belonging.
The Art of forgiveness
Often, when we feel we have been harmed by someone, forgiving them for what they have done can be hard. The harm we experienced may have triggered painful memories or shocked our inner core. When asked to forgive the person who harmed us, we may hesitate or never truly forgive them because their apology didn’t meet our needs. On the flip side, when have harmed someone, we don’t always understand why they don’t accept our apology and forgive us for what we have done. Learn how to reconcile the conflict between seeking forgiveness and forgiving in order to move forward from a conflict.
