The Workplace Wellness Series
How does your organization currently promote and advance individual and collective wellness in the workplace?
During this three-part series, facilitator(s) and participants will explore holistic wellness practices through the lens and experiences of people of color. Facilitators will offer concrete tips, steps, tools, and resources to develop and implement an equity-centered workplace wellness program that prioritizes Black people and their experiences, fosters meaningful connections, and supports personal and communal safety and health.
Why not me? Dismantling Internalized Oppression
Let’s Talk About It. Respectability politics. Your fears. Your doubts. Your insecurities. Your mindset. The things that are causing you to shut down- undermine your value- silence your voice - and dim your light.
This two-part conversation is intended to remind participants about the dire need to unapologetically reclaim their identity, and prioritize their emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. Audre Lorde’s words, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation…” is a call to action for all of us navigating daily spirit and soul attacks and racial trauma, while advocating for equity and justice.
How can we navigate hurtful situations and environments and remain centered on who we are and our value? Simple answer: our history, roots and cultural identity, resilience, and perseverance.
Join this conversation prepared to share, and learn practical “by and for us” approaches that will allow you to face each day with radical joy, intention, confidence, and self-love.
Difficult Conversations: Confidently Speaking Your Truth without Fear & Doubt
Why are difficult conversations so terrifying and nerve-wracking? And they are necessary to convey not-so-good news, differing point of views, experiences of harm and inequalities, etc.
During this two-part series, facilitator(s) and participants will explore what causes some conversations to be intimidating, while others are stress-free. The facilitator will provide tips and tools to help participants develop the skills needed to turn a difficult dialogue into a productive and courageous conversation.
Becoming & Unbecoming for the Journey Ahead
Who do you need to be in order to show up as your authentic self in the ongoing fight for social justice?
What limiting beliefs, thoughts patterns and behaviors do you need to release in order to become the best version of you.
Who do you need to be in order to become an effective and influential social change agent?
During this interactive session, facilitator (s) will guide participants through reflective exercises and activities intended to jump start their self-discovery journey of becoming.
“Becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. It’s forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self.” – Former First Lady Michelle Obama
Leadership: Beyond Titles & Gaslighting
Real leaders cultivate and empower leaders. Real leaders lead with values, not titles. Do you agree?
Unfortunately, many individuals in leadership roles fail to walk their talk. They use their privilege to undermine, tone police and make false promises in order to accomplish their goals.
Are you a toxic boss relying on manipulative behaviors to get the job done? Are you a leader struggling to motivate and inspire your supervisees? Are you someone responsible for managing people, but struggle with transparency and truth telling? As a leader, is white supremacy culture causing you to leave people of color behind?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, this conversation is for you.
If you would like to enhance your ability to coach, mentor, motivate, influence, and inspire others, join us for this courageous and enlightening conversation.
The Keys & Benefits of Accountability
Accountability. What is it? What does it mean? We have been talking about accountability in the workplace for decades. Unfortunately, we often only talk about it when something goes wrong. And, at that point, it’s generally too difficult and awkward to talk about it while putting out the fire.
“Accountability is like a muscle – you have to work it every day to make it stronger.” -Unknown
How does accountability look and feel in your workplace?
How do leaders hold employees accountable in your organization?How do employees hold leaders accountable?
How do team members hold each other accountable?
Lastly, do you believe that accountability begins and ends with you? Let’s talk about it!
During this session, facilitators and participants will explore and discuss key elements of accountability, what accountability is not, and the challenges they many encounter with personal, team and organizational accountability.
Facilitators will also offer tangible tools and practices for creating and fostering a culture of accountability that centers the voices, leadership, and experiences of people of color.Understanding Team Dynamics: Leading with Empathy, Support, Accountability, and Impact
Who's on your team?
During this session, leaders will explore the diverse dynamics within their teams, gain clarity on who is on their team and how each member contributes to the collective impact, both positive and negative.
Participants will delve into the complexities of team roles, the influence of individual behaviors, and the broader impact on team culture and organizational outcomes.
By the end of our time together, leaders will have a deeper understanding of how to harness their team's strengths, navigate challenges, and create a supportive environment where accountability is integrated into everyday practice. Participants will leave the session with practical strategies to cultivate stronger, more effective teams that are aligned with organizational goals and core values.
