"You always wonder when you take time away from the office to attend a workshop if it will be worth it.  Joe's session absolutely was!  It is grounded in research and interspersed with interactive and thought provoking exercises.  Joe's presentation made the topic of diversity a relevant, personal and business focused issue.  This is the best content I've seen on diversity in recent years."

The workforce is changing.

Our organizations are changing.

The very nature of our work is changing, and the ability to effectively, collaboratively and authentically work with other humans is now more important than ever.

This is how we get there...

Working with Humans: Diversity, Inclusion and Collaboration

No powerpoint. No podium. A real workshop.

This engaging and interactive workshop will provide participants with a deep-dive examination of diversity, inclusion and communication and the roles that they play in our work and our lives. Participants will also be introduced to tools for making their work (and other) relationships as authentic, valuable and effective as possible.

Each participant receives a workbook packed full of valuable information and tools for applying this information to their personal and professional life.

  • The real "business case" for Diversity and Inclusion
  • The many myths regarding diversity
  • Social Cognition and Cognitive biases
