Description:

Facilitating effective engagement and teamwork across social and individual differences is becoming a more important part of many leadership roles.  Diverse spaces and teams are critical to the ongoing work of reaching equity and inclusion.  They also present a unique set of interaction challenges that can result in misunderstandings and mistrust that can linger and damage teams if not managed well.  In this workshop Connected Realities will share simple and effective planning tools and facilitation techniques that will help you to:

  • Understand how social identities and interpersonal dynamics impact meetings and can lead to inequitable participation. 
  • Discover how our individual social identities impact how we facilitate.
  • Create an inclusive meeting environment for all, including how to avoid creating barriers to participation.
  • Create space for participants to hear and understand each other across their differences and perspectives, and move toward achieving desired team outcomes.
