Diversity Training and Consulting

In the past few decades, there has been an increasing interest and desire in many communities in creating an inclusive living, learning, and working environment for all. It has also been my experiences that many people have the best intention but lack the information and skills to achieve their goals. To help people move from intention to action, I have designed a number of workshops and training sessions that will provide the information and tools needed to create a genuinely inclusive environment.

Workshops and Training

I provide training modules (4-12) to any group who are interested in the following:

  • becoming effective parents/teachers/leaders/supervisors/managers
  • tapping into the potentials of people we live/work with
  • creating an inclusive living/learning/ working environment
  • fostering genuine intergroup interaction

Objectives of the training modules could include:

  • increased understanding of self and others
  • increased awareness of the impact of our behaviors on others
  • improved listening and speaking skills when talking about racism/sexism/heterosexism
  • increased understanding of the cost of racism/sexism/heterosexism
  • increased understanding of the benefits of unlearning racism/sexism/heterosexism
  • increased ability to affirm our own identity(ies) and those of others

Workshops and presentations I provide include:

  • How to be an ally? Ways of addressing racism, sexism, and heterosexism
  • When caring people hurt: Racial microaggressions and how allies can really help on a daily basis
  • Climate and Retention of Faculty of Color
  • Understanding People of Color Racial Identity Development
  • Understanding White Racial Identity Development
  • White People Challenging Racism

Consulting

There are many benefits in creating an inclusive environment whether it's in an educational, professional, or business setting. Some of the benefits include improved performance, increased productivity, increased morale, and increased retention rate. I am devoted in helping schools, universities, organizations, and businesses, create an environment that will allow their members to fully participate and maximize their potentials through organizational changes. Feel free to contact me to schedule a consultation meeting. I will be happy to discuss with you how I can help you and your organization achieve your goals.
