DEIB Facilitator Training

A group of ethnically diverse women sit around a conference table smiling at each other.

DEIB Training Level 1: Intro to DEIB Facilitating

Learn about implicit bias–how to recognize it and how to prevent it from influencing behavior— as well as practical strategies for interrupting microaggressions without causing conflict. We’ll tackle dealing with inappropriate jokes, when it’s appropriate to call out someone who is behaving in a bigoted manner and how to recognize and respond to defensiveness – the number one barrier to an inclusive environment.
 
This course also explains why traditional DEI training doesn’t work. We’ll provide techniques backed by science and evidence that can move your organization toward progress.
 
Whether you’re a working professional interested in equity and inclusion within your organization, a supervisor who wants to build diverse teams, an executive looking for DEI solutions that accomplish measurable, practical goals or an individual hoping to activate your allyship and to improve your personal relationships, this course is for you.

 

*Once you complete DEI Facilitation Level 1, you will be invited to enroll in Level 2 and so on through Level 4.

This course is for:
  • managers and leaders who want to create anti-racist systems within their organizations.
  • DEI committee members & DEI officers.
  • Executives who are ready to make DEI a strategic priority. 

 

Level 3 addresses the many DEIB issues that may arise in workplaces and other organizations. It focuses on belonging. This course teaches you how to hold inclusive meetings, how to identify problematic aspects of workplace culture, and how to change culture, no matter how ingrained it may seem. 

You’ll learn practical strategies for collaborative problem-solving and avoiding group think. You’ll also learn how to lead exercises designed to reveal unspoken issues that may be hampering an organization’s progress. We’ll provide solutions for addressing and fixing those issues–without escalating into conflict or anger. 

DEIB Training 4: Facilitating in Real Time

This course is for:
  • DEI committee members and officers.
  • Leaders & employees who want to mediate disputes or help lead working groups focused on diversity. 

 

Level 4 is designed for those who may be called upon to lead conversations about DEIB issues, in large or small groups. We’ll guide you through a facilitation, step-by-step, with opportunities to practice through role play. You’ll create your own checklist for use when preparing a facilitation.

We’ll also talk about how to create an effective DEI committee and promoting equity literacy within organizations. This course will also dig into issues of burnout and compassion fatigue, offering exercises to protect yourself and others from exhaustion.
