How a DEI workshop can support your diversity & inclusion initiatives
The underdevelopment of emotional intelligence is a consistent barrier to advancing & implementing inclusion & equity initiatives. Before you can create an inclusive culture, you have to create psychological safety and resource your team with communication tools and skills to self-regulate emotions and nervous system responses. Compassion & empathy are our nature, but not until we remove any perceived threats to our safety. My DEI workshops are focused on resourcing your team with the tools and knowledge they need to address unconscious bias, habitual behaviors, and communication challenges. These resources are the key to making your diversity & inclusion efforts transformational instead of just performative.
