Dumb Things Well-Intended People Say: 10 Skills to Increase Your Diversity Competence
Conversations around diversity have us walking on eggshells. This program offers practical ways to quickly transform the quality and effectiveness of our interactions. Have you ever found yourself saying, “Some of my best friends are…” or “I don’t think of you as…”? We make statements intended to be supportive or complimentary, but end up being problematic. Participants will gain knowledge of communication traps, how to avoid them and what tools to use in their place.
