Working with Humans: 

Diversity, Inclusion and Communication @ Work

This engaging and interactive workshop will provide participants with a deep-dive examination of diversity, inclusion and communication and the roles that they play in our work and our lives.  Participants will also be introduced to tools for making their work (and other) relationships as authentic, valuable and effective as possible.

"Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development.  It is our capacity to mold ourselves.

-Rollo May 

Topics and themes covered:

  • Definitions of key terms
  • Types and dimensions of diversity
  • The science of bias, assumption and perception
  • Working constructively with paradox and diversity
  • Creating effective and authentic workplace relationships
  • Intentional communication

“After having met Joe on a number of occasions and witnessed his passion for diversity and inclusion, I contracted with him to facilitate a ½ day diversity training program for staff members at my organization.  My desired outcome was that participants would walk away from the afternoon with a common language and a better understanding of the critical issues of diversity.  Amazingly, as a result of Joe’s comfortable style and dynamic presentation techniques, a dozen or so individuals immediately volunteered to serve on a task force to continue the dialogue about diversity.  He scored a 4.75 (on a scale of 1 being low and 5 being high) for being articulate, well-spoken, and engaging.” 

-Laurie Pieper – VP of Human Resources, Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce

 

"Joe is a must see.  He captures his audience, leads them down a path of vision, growth and purpose, to more effectively pursue the mission of any organization wanting to take things to the next level."

-Jarriet DeWit, Blue Cross Blue Shield
