LEARN Workshops
I.D.E.A. 101
This workshop provides a high-level overview of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (I.D.E.A.). These terms are not new, and efforts to create more inclusive spaces have been happening throughout U.S. history. Learn the history of DEI, key laws, why I.D.E.A. is essential to society, and why organizations are critical to making it a success.
Unconscious Bias
We all hold bias – the strong preference for or against an individual, group, or belief system. Biases are often rooted in prejudice and yes, we all have them. Our biases can be conscious (we’re aware of them) or unconscious (we’re unaware we have them). Either way, bias influences our decisions and actions. In this workshop, we explore how to become aware of your unconscious biases and the steps you can take to overcome them.
Know Your Power
This workshop is about power. While a lot of power rests with those who have fancy titles, each of us has power. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the five types of power everyone has, and how you can use your influence to effect change at work and at home. By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to explain how existing power structures work to keep racial and other inequities in place, identify ways to interrupt and dismantle these power structures, analyze, and reflect on how you currently use your own power and create an action plan to use your power more strategically. This workshop includes a 25-page workbook.
“Julye Williams was an exceptional facilitator! I am forever in her debt for putting this project into focus for me. The conversations were safe, respectful, and moved our people to a kinder, gentler place around race.“
