Navigating Difficult DEI Conversations

“I just don't know how to have this conversation.” If you have ever had this thought, this workshop is for you. Difficult conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) range from conceptual to conflict resolution. This workshop offers participants the opportunity to learn what is important to consider when having difficult DEI conversations and offers concrete tools to avoid harmful conversations in favor of healing ones.
