Become a diversity champion through our award-winning trauma-informed equity and inclusion training based on the bestselling book Deep Diversity: A Compassionate, Scientific Approach to Achieving Racial Justice.

For any organization that wants to stay relevant and productive, creating a functionally diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace is a must. Understanding how systemic discrimination threatens fairness and morale in both overt and subtle ways is critical to such initiatives. This ground-breaking, trauma-informed training process will develop key leadership knowledge and skills to support workplace inclusion and equity, as outlined in Deep Diversity: A Compassionate, Scientific Approach to Racial Justice. Covers four key modules of bias, emotions, identity and power

You will learn:

  • Leadership competencies for diversity champions with a focus on emotional literacy, including skill development in self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and relationship management;
  • How to apply the Deep Diversity® framework to help uncover systemic discrimination patterns within organizations with regards to race/ethnicity specifically and social identity broadly;
  • How unconscious bias results in mistreatment of people of minority groups in organizations and the importance of developing bias detection and reduction skills;
  • What gets in the way of establishing a diverse organization that is inclusive of, and equitable for, all people regardless of identity or background;
  • Where your organization is at and where it wants to go using the unique measurement tool: the Deep Diversity® Leaders’ Snapshot.
  • 9 Ways to Challenge Racial Discrimination in Your Organization
  • Having Bias Isn’t Good or Bad – It’s Human
