Even in the most harmonious of workplaces, tension happens. Misunderstandings, misspoken words, hurt feelings; they are, we must admit, inevitable. That’s the bad news.

But here’s the good news: There is a lot we can do to convert these moments of tension into gateways for improved understanding and enhanced inclusion. That’s where Gateways to Inclusion (also titled, Diversity Dialogue Blunders) comes in.

Using creative narrative and high production values, this skillfully-produced video training package provides your team with the motivation and skills to transform those painful moments into enhanced respect and increased inclusion in your diverse workplace.

Format: Gateways to Inclusion (also titled, Diversity Dialogue Blunders) is available as an On-Line Video Training Package that is ideal for in-person group learning.

The Package Includes:

  • Streaming rights to a 17-minute video depicting three realistic workplace scenarios and solutions. The video also contains: A Quiz, an FAQ with Sondra Thiederman; a Video Case Study.
  • A comprehensive Leader’s Guide for a 90-minute training session along with a 45-minute refresher workshop
  • Two PowerPoint presentations
  • Participant handouts

The Benefits:

Opening a gateway to conversation – and holding it open – rather than slamming it shut in fear or anger has measurable benefits including:

  • Increased harmony and better working relationships
  • Reduced manager time spent mediating tension and misunderstanding
  • Increased employee engagement and commitment
  • An atmosphere of respect and inclusion
  • Improved teamwork and productivity

At the completion of this training, each learner will be able to:

  1. Manage their initial emotion in order to move forward productively.
  2. Set productive goals designed to convert the event from a disaster into an opportunity for increased respect and inclusion.
  3. Assess intent and impact carefully and in a way that creates mutual-understanding and growth.
  4. Communicate in a way that demonstrates respect.
