WORKSHOP FACILITATION
Systemic and transformative change through interactive, experiential, customized workshops focused on:
1. Social Change: Equity, Inclusion, Justice & Power
2. Transformational Leadership
3. Transition & Change
4. Stress Management & Resilience
Services include half or full day workshops to engage groups for collective learning, renewed energy, reconnecting with purpose and passion, fueling intentions, identifying actions going forward, and inspired visioning. Participants gain new perspectives, knowledge, skills and mindsets.
1. Social Change
While inclusion efforts are important they aren’t enough to bring about the level of shift required in today’s world. For transformative outcomes, we need to consider equity and justice for sustained institutional change. Diversity & Inclusion efforts result in little systemic or transformative change in organizations.
Workshops are designed to move the needle … from evolution (Diversity & Inclusion) to revolution (Equity & Justice). Social change models and theories are integrated to address bias, emotional intelligence, and a conscious use of power. The values embraced focus on relationship, compassion, and mindfulness.
According to Dr. Dafina-Lazarus Stewart, for real change, we need to ask fundamentally different questions to address fundamentally different issues, to achieve fundamentally transformative outcomes.
“Diversity asks: “Who’s in the room?”
Equity responds: “Who is trying to get in the room but can’t? Whose presence in the room is under constant threat of erasure?”
Inclusion asks: “Have everyone’s ideas been heard?”
Justice responds: “Whose ideas won’t be taken as seriously because they aren’t in the majority?”
2. Transformational Leadership
Transformational leaders make equity and justice the yardstick by which to measure progress (Dafina-Lazarus Stewart). This means stepping into courageous leadership to transform power in our selves, others and organizations. This requires emotional intelligence, mindfulness and authenticity. It also requires a focus on WHO you are – innovative, out of the box ways of BEING, a healthy use of power, humility and vulnerability.
3. Transition & Change
Transition requires navigating the internal challenges, and process, of change. This requires understanding the neuroscience of change, and how to re-wire the brain for sustained change. We achieve this by addressing limiting beliefs and mindsets and our inner critics and saboteurs to get unstuck from fear and old patterns. It also means embracing and acknowledging the emotions that come with the transition aspects of change.
4. Stress Management & Resilience
Stress and burnout are on the increase in many aspects of todays society. Is your passion for your work making you sick? Are you on the verge of burnout? Reclaim the lost art of rest, caring for self and the collective. Learn how to shift from reactivity to responsiveness and resourcefulness using trauma informed healing strategies. Apply mindfulness to leverage your energy, gain clarity and focus.
