In this high-energy and engaging workshop, participants will engage in activities and discussions that enhance their own understanding of identity and diversity and, in turn, help them work more effectively with a diverse student population. Our diversity training culminates in the development of a relevant action project focusing on the specific diversity needs of your college/university. Students will have the chance to look at themselves as an individual but also as a member of a community at large. The training curriculum will provide participants with the necessary awareness, content knowledge, and skills to help foster development and mutual respect when exploring issues of diversity.

Also known as implicit social cognition, implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individual’s awareness or intentional control. Residing deep in the subconscious, these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness. Rather, implicit biases are not accessible through introspection.

The implicit associations we harbor in our subconscious cause us to have feelings and attitudes about other people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, age, and appearance. These associations develop over the course of a lifetime, beginning at a very early age, through exposure to direct and indirect messages. In addition to early life experiences, the media and news programming are often-cited origins of implicit associations.

In this experiential, interactive workshop, participants will:

Experience activities that raise awareness of their own implicit biases (everybody has them; it’s what we do them and how we treat each other that counts.)

Take part in activities that help promote multicultural acceptance, appreciation of differences, recognition of underlying commonalities and the building of a positive community.

Learn and practice skills and strategies to help monitor and limit the impact of implicit biases in their workplace and in the field.

This kind of training will incorporate case studies, experimental activities, and incorporate simulations that will help all the leaders across the world to realize their own potential. The training will explore empowering people, teamwork, inspiring collaboration, talent development, mastering the science and art of negotiation, leading innovations, and leveraging data that will help to create better decisions and inclusive communities. Some expert says that the use of leadership training, will showcase to you the real conditions as well as the competencies that will help to foster high productivity of collaboration in the workplace, wherein it will ignite a good culture of collaboration at all levels of your company and employees.
