Advanced Microaggressions for Leaders: How to Facilitate Difficult Conversations

This strategy-based workshop is designed for supervisors, managers, and leaders who want to improve their ability to lead their staff through difficult conversations. Participants learn eight strategies for engaging staff when tension exists due to microaggressions and other types of comments that cause tension. Together we will explore intent vs. impact, public vs. private conversations, calling in vs. calling out, and other ways of thinking that are necessary in determining your approach. Leaders will develop their skills for approaching challenging situations in a way that invites healing, creates psychological safety, increases their staff’s ability to have courageous conversations, and promotes growth when confronted with cross cultural conflicts.

Objectives

Participants will:

1. Increase their confidence in engaging staff in difficult conversations.
2. Learn strategies for facilitating group discussions.
3. Develop skills for engaging in deeper discourse when challenging situations arise.

Microaggressions E-Course

Included with your workshop registration is our E-Course Microaggressions: What are they and How are they Harmful? taught by Dr. Hollins.

The Advanced Leaders workshop does not teach what microaggressions are. To take full advantage this session, we encourage participants who have limited understanding of what microaggressions are to complete the e-course prior to the workshop.
