Anti-Racism and Racial Reconciliation Training
We deliver dynamic and interactive workshops and train your staff on cultural intelligence, anti-racism and implicit bias. As your organizational culture changes, you will find that retention increases because employees feel seen, heard and valued. Your organization will gain a reputation as a welcoming and inclusive place to work and/or worship.
We accomplish these objectives by focusing on the “The Five Bridges”:
- Foundational Bridge – The ethics of reconciliation
- Personal Bridge – Review key definitions to maximize communication
- Professional Bridge – Practical application of anti-racism principles to minimize harm and maximize results
- Historical Bridge – A holistic review of history that includes perspectives of every ethnic group.
- Bridge of Hope – A vision of a better world on the other side of conquering racism
