Implicit Bias Training
This training program is designed to help people recognize and overcome their unconscious biases. The educational sessions aim to help people become more aware of their own biases and how they may manifest in their thoughts and actions. The training involves exercises and activities that help participants recognize and challenge their biases, such as taking implicit bias tests, practicing empathy, and engaging in role-playing scenarios.
The goal is to help individuals develop greater self-awareness and become more conscious of their biases, so they can make more objective and fair decisions. This type of training is great for workplaces, schools, and other settings where individuals make important decisions that can affect others.
Microaggressions Training
This training seeks to raise awareness and reduce the occurrence of microaggressions, which are subtle or indirect forms of discrimination or bias towards individuals from marginalized groups. Microaggressions are often unintentional and may be perpetuated by individuals who are unaware of the impact of their behavior or language.
Our training includes education and awareness-raising sessions that help participants recognize and understand the harmful effects of microaggressions. The training includes interactive exercises, role-playing, and discussions designed to help participants identify and constructively respond to microaggressions.
The goal is to create a more inclusive and respectful environment by reducing the occurrence of unintentional discrimination and bias. This type of training is often used in workplaces, schools, and other settings where individuals from diverse backgrounds interact regularly. It can also help individuals become more aware of their own biases and how they may inadvertently perpetuate discrimination.

Ten Habits of Inclusive Leaders
Studies demonstrate that roughly 40 percent of employees quit their jobs because of poor management -- not the pay or even the work itself. Therefore, when organizations are seeking to improve retention numbers it is imperative that the lion-share of the energy is placed squarely on improving managers skills and abilities. This course is intended to teach all levels of management the value of diversity, and how to take actionable steps to reduce costly turnover. The course highlights ten tangible strategic steps managers can take to ensure members of their team feel valued and appreciated. Managers who complete this course are more likely to improve retention of their diverse talent over time.
Leadership Coaching
We understand that most managers are elevated to their positions largely due to their technical strengths and not necessarily because of their ability to lead teams -- particularly diverse teams. This often leads to high turnover, and puts the managers at odds with organizational objectives. This service provides one-on-one coaching to managers of all levels to help them attract diverse talent and foster inclusive work environments. The coaching program begins with a thorough evaluation of the manager's strengths, weaknesses, and areas of concern, then is followed-up with a series of co-curated sessions that will enhance their comfortability and ability to lead effectively.
