Communication Styles
Ever wonder why you work better with some folks more than others? Or why a decision was so difficult to come to in your organization? This workshop helps groups understand different working styles and the different ways people communicate. Learning about communication styles is an excellent and exciting process to learn more about the group you’re working with!

Connect the Dots
In a diverse world we are surrounded by people of different identities who come from different backgrounds. This workshop helps in understanding intersections of identities in relation to your organization and helps to realize our differences, similarities and illustrates the beauty of our diversity.

Walk the Line
This workshop is designed to help people understand inequalities in our society. Though a series of questions, participants will be prompted to “walk the line” of privilege and oppression.

What Would You Do?
Though a series of scenarios participants are taught to challenge everyday bigotry and learn to speak up when the time is right.

Self-Reflection/Leadership Workshop
Part of being a leader begins with self-awareness because we must understand the sorts of experiences we bring to the table as well as how that will influence the work we do. This workshop engages participants in self-reflection to help understand how to be an effective and influential leader.

Being an Ally
Everyone can be an ally to others. This workshop explores ways to interrupt oppressive behavior and actively support social justice in learning how to be an ally to others.

Films and Discussions
Using films to explore social justice issues is an excellent way to create dialogue and learning. We can help facilitate this process for your group.
