Antiracism Training: Alignment Through A Racial Lens – 2-Hour Training

“Antiracism” is a term that is frequently used in diversity-related conversations. It is quite popular for a group, organization, or association to announce that it is “antiracist.” Yet, few organizations or associations train their leaders and employees on what this means and fewer still discuss how this category is a commitment to something beyond avoiding acts of race discrimination. Effective use of race equity principles strengthens organizations and limits their exposure to claims of discrimination (including claims of reverse discrimination). This program is designed to help organizations apply a race-conscious lens effectively, productively, and legally.

This program will provide a review of the literature about race equity and antiracism. It is updated to reflect the latest evidence-based information available. It is also designed to align with the legal mandates that govern employers, employees, contractors, and affiliates.

The training does not require any prior knowledge.

Topics include:

  • The general concept of diversity
  • The latest data on diversity and the most effective diversity efforts
  • Racial identity and statuses and demographic data
  • Resources for further education

Participants will gain the following skills:

  • Active listening for better interracial and inter-group communication
  • Productive communication on diversity subjects
  • Forming elucidating questions
  • Managing emotions and increasing resiliency when confronting diversity-related issues
  • Identifying interests and generating options
  • Reality testing to identify objective and subjective “truths”
  • Working through impasse and reaching agreement

At the conclusion of the training, all participants will have had an opportunity to gather knowledge about diversity efforts in the 21st century.

Space is limited to 30 participants per session.

Fee schedule: $6,000
