Have you had interactions with colleagues, clients, friends, or family related to race, gender, or another identity, that left you wishing you’d handled them differently? Have you felt embarrassed, offended, exhausted, guilty or unsure of what to do or say? In this interactive workshop you will learn how to communicate through what we call microaggressions – whether you’re a bystander or recipient, or you’ve made a negative impact on someone. We’ll explore how microaggression takes a toll on us all, and how to develop resilience through building tools and framework for navigating these conversations.
This workshop will operate under the following assumptions:
Racism exists.
No matter our intentions, impact matter.
Many of us want to do better and don’t know how.
Implicit bias causes us to interact differently with people who hold different identities than our own – none of us is “colorblind.”
