Organizational Workshops & Training
Far too often we falsely convince ourselves that because we have a certain educational background, hold a certain professional title or have our own share of challenges in life, that we are immune to holding harmful beliefs about others.
This workshop focuses on:
-
self-awareness as it relates to stereotypes, biases and prejudices that we hold as humans, and as professionals
-
examining how schemas in our brains are formed - we will explore how our individual life experiences, the media, and the larger Canadian culture work to create specific and generalized ideas about others.
-
strategies to combat harmful beliefs about others
-
enhancing our professional relationships with the people we work with and others
The aim of this workshop is to create a safe and inviting space to be vulnerable within ourselves to examine what beliefs we hold and how they translate into our interactions with others.
Vulnerability is uncomfortable and discomfort is a prerequisite to growth.
