Join Dana Moldoveanu and Lisa Francis-Jennings for a Diversity Appreciation Train-the-Trainer. It covers enough information for you as your organisation’s internal trainer(s) to present either three 45-minute stand-alone workshops, one 90-minute or a two-hour workshop on Diversity. This Train-the-Trainer is designed for people with basic presentation skills and/or a general knowledge of diversity; for example, HR professionals, Diversity Committee members, managers or others interested in honing their presentation skills or helping their colleagues learn about the benefits of diversity.

Participants will learn to facilitate 3 different Diversity Appreciation Modules, by receiving:

  • 4 hours of training, including:
    • Tips and trick of master facilitators
    • Benefits of diversity facilitation tips
    • Practice presentation exercises
    • Summary of diversity appreciation modules
  • Train-the-Trainer material, including:
    • A template slide pack (contains facts & figures about diversity and key messages)
    • adult learning activity descriptions / guidelines designed to increase awareness around the benefits, challenges and/or barriers to leveraging diversity
    • instruction/scripting notes
    • design notes, presentation and handout templates
  • feedback regarding:
    • practice presentations
    • design customization for their specific audiences

The three initial Diversity Appreciation Train-the-Trainer topics are:

  1. Diversity and Performance
  2. Proactive Diversity Management
  3. Overcoming Barriers to Diversity

We add other packages regularly. Packages can be purchased following your attendance at the workshop and include a non-branded slide pack, presenter’s notes, Key messages, handout material, and serious games. Our additional topics include

  • Making diversity work:
    • Current studies indicate strongly that ‘forced or mandated’ diversity programs can actually create a larger divide. This workshop can be used to educate management and staff regarding positive diversity measures
  • Overcoming unconscious bias:
    • How can we deal with something that we don’t see in ourselves, or sometimes in others? This workshop gives you the opportunity to help you to raise awreness, and your participants to recognize and overcome unconscious bias. Start the conversation today.
  • Talking gender preference
    • Do you have people who are uncomfortable talking about gender preferences? Sometimes it’s because they don’t know the language. This course covers the basics of gender preference language and allows participants to practice having conversations about choice.
  • Respect in the workplace
    • Increasing awareness regarding positive workplace interaction can open whole new perspectives – and opportunities. Work with your participants to develop interaction guidelines and principles that work in your environment.
  • Removing harassment
    • Harassment can be so subtle that the person being harassed is left with an elusive, but uncomfortable feeling that something is not right, while the harasser leaves the interaction totally oblivious of what they have done. Teach your participants to identify and communicate effectively about harassment – before reports are filed.
  • Communicating across genders
    • We are different! Rather than expecting everyone to follow one interaction norm, explore difference and engage your participants in building an understanding of positive and productive interaction.
  • Communicating across generations
    • We do think in different ways and are driven by different motivators! Explore generational differences and engage your participants in building an understanding of positive and productive work from all your staff.
