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 />
