Let's Talk About Race:  Blacks and Whites

A safe-space for open, candid dialogue and skill building

This highly interactive workshop, is purposely focused on black and white U. S. Americans. **  Led by two seasoned diversity professionals, this workshop provides opportunities for authentic, candid dialogue and for developing understanding and strategies that build communication and support inclusion.

Our focus is on inclusion:

 Diversity matters to everyone; includes everyone.

Our trainers create a safe environment for learning: “No blame; no shame.” “Diversity matters to everyone; includes everyone.” with the clear understanding that we don’t have to agree to be respectful; “to understand and behave respectfully does not necessarily imply agreement.” 

Participants come away with a strong sense of “time well spent” plus practical skills and tools that are effective, transferable and sustainable.   

What participants will walk away with:

§  A heightened understanding of the not-so-obvious differences between blacks and whites in the workplace

§  The opportunity to raise issues in a safe space, in real-time

§  The courage to inquire in a healthy and productive manner across racial lines

§  A greater willingness to withhold judgment and seek more information before leaping to conclusions

§  The incentive to see and treat each other as individuals

§  Tools for improving communication and productivity 

Objectives are met through a blend of dialogue, short presentations, small group breakouts, hands-on communication tools and impromptu role plays by the cross-racial co-facilitators.

**Separate sessions are also available on other "pairs," i.e., Latinos and Blacks, Muslims and Christians, etc.
