Equity Begins with Us: Communication Skills for a Thriving Workplace

ABOUT THIS TRAINING

A practical exploration of how communication skills can determine or undermine success of equity efforts and a thriving workplace.

We often focus equity efforts on policies and large-scale changes – whether you’re in the weeds or have your eyes trained on the long-view, it’s easy to forget that communication matters! In partnership with The Center for Restorative Approaches , GLP offers a set of six communication skills that are foundational to a thriving, equitable workplace.

These skills are not new or complicated but are powerful when practiced with intention; they are essential for building genuine relationships across difference. The more we individually practice and hone these skills, the more we cultivate a culture of belonging and accelerate collective work.

What will you learn?

You will use and model 6 timeless communication skills with fellow participants. You will also explore how these skills can show up in the culture of your organization. You will craft your own plan for practicing these skills in the daily context of your life and work.

What else do you need to know?

• This workshop does not unpack the meaning of equity or provide guidance on large scale equity actions. It does offer an opportunity to reflect on your team’s equity efforts.
