OD Partnership Series - I am Standing Up In a Divided World; Fiction to Facts
Jim Morris
This training will be conducted live via Zoom. The zoom meeting details will be sent out prior to the training.
This session is part of a new ongoing series offered in collaboration with the Oregon ODN.
With a commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, our network extends this program to help internal practitioners and external consultants strengthen their understanding and help their clients impact real change.
In a divided climate, those of us who want to be instruments of change are finding responsibility in understanding what others understand so as to spend time with each other, love each other and have productive discussions.
What makes for safe ways to explore, be vulnerable, share and even persuade?
This STANDING UP FOR DEI&B interactive program will help you learn how to create your own strategies to effectively engage in dialogue where roadblocks occur that impact the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
