  • Crucial Conversations infuses virtual in-class practice with original video clips of "before and after" situations, group participation, and personal reflection as you explore and master crucial skills that help you get results to increase productivity and effectiveness in work and in life.
  • The course is offered as two half-day workshops. Crucial Conversations training usually costs $250 per participant but will be offered to you at NO COST through the HR Title III Program.

“How Was Your Day?” Diversity & Inclusion Workshop

Enables organizations to:

  • Minimize the impact of bias. The training powerfully depicts the many ways bias hurts people and prevents an organization from building a diverse and inclusive culture; encourages personal reflection to help individuals identify implicit biases, challenge them, and set them aside.
  • End harassment. Explains hostile work environment and illustrates how impact outweighs intent.
  • Stop bullying. Shows how being an “upstander” (for yourself and others) helps end abusive conduct and build a culture of mutual respect and dignity.
  • Leverage the desire for change. Supports the pursuit of a workplace free of discrimination, inequity, and disrespect.
  • Held Virtually Via Zoom (Participants will receive a personal invitation with login instructions)
  • Register through the HR Professional Development Portal (Cornerstone) by searching the title of the training and selecting the desired training dates.
