Many organizations sponsor brown bags and other such discussions on<br />
diversity. Few, however, develop sophisticated diversity dialogues that can<br />
raise the level of awareness on diversity and help drive support for<br />
organizational inclusion. As a result, while people often enjoy such<br />
discussions, they rarely lead to change. This workshop is designed to help<br />
those who lead diversity and inclusion discussions develop significant skills<br />
in leading and facilitating behavior-based dialogues. You will examine:<br />
• A step-by-step approach to developing effective diversity discussions<br />
and dialogues<br />
• Linking diversity dialogues to diversity strategy<br />
• The top ten tips for effective diversity dialogues<br />
The primary group facilitation method used will be structured intergroup<br />
dialogue.<br />
Key Topics<br />
• Basic group facilitation skills<br />
• Understanding group dynamics<br />
• Social identity group development<br />
• Impact of prejudice and stereotyping on groups<br />
• Dynamics and impact of power, privilege, and social oppression<br />
on group interactions<br />
• Facilitation of intergroup dialogue<br />
• The A-Z guide to facilitating diversity issues<br />
• Suspending judgment when facilitating<br />
• Overview of some contemporary intergroup issues and areas of<br />
concern (e.g., affirmative action, separatism/self-segregation, age,<br />
gender identity)<br />
