This highly interactive, experiential workshop will address the concepts of diversity and multiculturalism in their broadest sense, to include identities of race, ethnicity, gender, religion,
sexual orientation, ability, body size, and more. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on and share their own identity “landscape.” This training will address: the pitfalls of “passing”
or identity invisibility; the many ways encouraging authentic self-expression leads to better work outcomes; creating a work environment in which questions are safe to be asked and answered and where curiosity is encouraged; the nature and impact of micro-aggressions; and additional topics proposed by the group. Group discussion will be an opportunity to learn more about oneself, one’s colleagues, and ultimately to form professional relationships based in authenticity and respect.
