Jim Morris, author of the soon to be released book 

Gaslights and Dog Whistles (release on August 9)

 will help the audience create their own strategies to effectively engage in dialogue with people who are choosing to go along with fiction over facts when it comes to DE&I.

Since the claim that Critical Race Theory (CRT) is divisive and deleterious to the cultural fabric of the U.S., public school administrators and teachers, parents, corporate leaders, advocates and professionals working in support of diversity, equity and inclusion have been caught flat-footed when trying to respond to false or injurious claims from CRT skeptics/detractors. They even have a handbook to help them.  Now we do too.

Standing Up for DE&I (for Practitioners)

Gaslights and Dog Whistles (releases on August 8)

 will help the audience create their own strategies to effectively engage in dialogue with people who are choosing to go along with fiction over facts when it comes to DEI&B.

Since the claim that Critical Race Theory (CRT) is divisive and deleterious to the cultural fabric of the U.S., corporate DE&I, HR, Learning, and Talent Development professionals at all levels have had to defend the business case for why DE&I professional development is needed like never before. The skeptics and detractors have even had a handbook to help them attack DE&I. Now we have a handbook as well.

We can’t learn from the mistakes of the past if we can’t talk about them

. It's time to defend the real history of racism in the US.

Stand-Up for DE&I (for corporate DE&I professionals, practitioners, and leaders)

 to the DEI&B table. You and your team can learn them.

Resistance and  skepticism can be a cultural barrier to progress in organizations, but it is also be an opportunity to create genuine partnerships across difference.  The goal isn’t to change people’s beliefs, but rather to help everyone make positive shifts in their behavior.

Beyond Compliance: Creating Genuine Change in the Workplace

Beyond Compliance - Creating Genuine Change in the Workplace

This engaging 2 hour experiential workshop will accelerate the launch process for organizations that are  just beginning their inclusion journey. Geared for executive-level leaders, this session offers a balance of  what to DO and how to BE in terms of leading and committing to the organization’s DE&I Journey. 

Questions this Workshop Addresses Include: 

There is no one way for an organization to “do” DEI&B. Each organization launches its journey differently based on what the current business needs and  internal capabilities are.

Leading and Sponsoring the DE&I Journey

If you spend a lot of time lobbying for engagement in DEI&B (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging) efforts in your organization, you are not alone. Between ambivalence and downright resistance, it is hard for many organizations to get the level of engagement they need to bring about real change. Don’t let the rumor mill or baseless claims designed to spark fear interfere with progress. It is time to establish a new social contract. Learn how to face and confront resistance with courage and grace. Even though you may be further down the path with your DEI&B efforts than those who are just getting started, you may not realize that there are proven ways to get 

 to the DE&I table. You and your team can learn them.

Resistance and  skepticism can be a cultural barrier to progress in organizations, but it is also an opportunity to create genuine partnerships across difference.  The goal isn’t to change people’s beliefs, but rather to help everyone make positive shifts in their behavior.
