One of the greatest challenges organizations face in their efforts to create a more inclusive environment, is a lack of training and support for team members who may be leading or facilitating DEI-related conversations. Without proper training, these team members may be hesitant or uncomfortable moderating these potentially sensitive discussions. This can result in participants not feeling safe or comfortable participating and may undermine an organization’s DEI objectives.

This workshop looks to address this challenge by empowering participants with the practical tools they need to effectively and inclusively “hold space” as facilitators. This includes:

Learning how to create psychologically safe(r) spaces for peers
Bring their whole selves to the discussion
Becoming better active listeners and support participation
Address prejudice, bias, or offensive remarks should they arise

Foster & model greater inclusivity

Participants will leave this workshop with improved facilitation skills, greater self-awareness, and the practical resources and frameworks that will help them prepare and support future discussions.

Hosted By: This workshop is hosted by Priyanka Saju; professional focus group moderator, organizational change management consultant, and speaker. Priyanka is passionate about helping individuals and organizations feel equipped, empowered, and excited to create a better, more inclusive world.

No previous or formal experience is required to take this workshop. This workshop is intended for those that are looking to improve their communication, leadership, and facilitation skills. That being said, this workshop can be adapted to better cater to specific audiences (e.g. Executive teams, etc.)

This workshop is a great resource for anyone who is in a position to facilitate or lead sensitive conversations. This may include Employee Resource Group (ERG) leads, Executives, or People Managers. This workshop can also be adapted to complement culture-building, skill-building, or DEI-related training.

This workshop is not intended to be a substitute for formal DEI training or resources. Rather, this workshop is intended to support participants in feeling more prepared, confident, and empowered when facilitating sensitive or DEI-related discussions. The focus of this workshop is on equipping participants with the skills to thoughtfully and intentionally create a supportive environment for important conversations.
