If dominant culture thrives on individualism, an urgent pace driven by paternalistic assignment of tasks, and the stifling of conflict, then transformative culture rests on collaboration, big picture context setting, authentic grapplic and debate to arrive at collectively held decisions, and transparent implementation plans that allow for accountability. Inclusive facilitation is the key to this type of power-sharing for collective impact.
In this session, participants will learn the Be the Change methodology of layering group development principles with agenda design strategies and build the confidence and skills to hold process goals along with session outcomes.
Racial constructs have long impacted our culture – what can we do about it? In this session, we will unpack a three-part framework that describes the journeys we walk to disentangle ourselves from institutionalized racism. This work requires knowledge of oneself, ability to recognize and name internalized and systematized oppression, and the courageous work to engage across cultural differences to experiment with equity and inclusion in organizations and relationships. We will combine participant story-telling with a research-backed framework to equip individuals and teams to predict and prepare for the challenges that emerge in anti-racism efforts, develop compassion for the struggle, and develop the resiliency required to persevere.
