Diversity Workshops
DIVERSITY WORKSHOPS
We all have blind spots when living or working with other people. It’s not our fault. No matter whether the Dimension of Diversity is race, gender, religion, age, income and so on misunderstandings are inevitable. There will always be days we don’t know what to say or do. Times when we feel we just don’t know enough.
Many times practices that appear harmless are actually toxic to your employees or the community you serve. Policies can be innocently made that appear insensitive to some groups. The truth is your employees and clients are often thinking about disparities in your organization long before they become openly discussed issues.
If you ask people who are like YOU about your organization, chances are they see things similarly. Unfortunately, that perspective is limited. What’s more, your organization could be at risk for a lawsuit if training doesn’t take place.
But how do you avoid spending time and money only to find yourself left with more frustration? Simple. Talk to me.
I have been actively studying the issues of diversity for over 30 years. I also bring my background as a writer, performing artist, TV personality and motivational speaker to the table to deliver an unforgettable seminar.
Don’t worry about raising tensions or awkwardness. I’ll take on the “difficult” issues with humor, clarity and compassion. With a track record of thousands of workshops, you can trust O’Halloran Communications to deliver this issue with impact, sensitivity and heart.
My workshops are custom-designed for each client and can run two to six hours long or be booked as a multiple day event. Here are some examples of Diversity and Inclusion workshops:
BREAKTHROUGHS IN CULTURAL AWARENESS and SKILLS –FROM MULTICULTURAL TO MULTI-MARVELOUS
Diversity 101 – this seminar gives your organization common language and common vision while introducing the topic of diversity in a fun format. Your audience will love getting to know each other in a new and engaging way.
PC: POLITICALLY CORRECT OR PERSONALLY CARING? HOW NOT TO WALK ON EGGSHELLS AROUND EACH OTHER
This seminar deals with the whole idea of language – what can and can’t we say around each other?
JUST WHAT IS RACE?
We talked about it all the time yet so few of us know what race really is and how it has touched every aspect of American life. People will leave empowered to make sense of our continued racial divides and ready to take on hidden or invisible isms.
BUILDING A CONFERENCE COMMUNITY
A fun way to build community and “team” right in your organization or at a conference whether people are “old-timers” or new to each other.
