About the Webinar
This is part 2 in a 2-part webinar series. Be sure to explore the first session, How to Talk About Race: 3 Critical First Steps.
Having conversations about race is a layered and complex issue. Because of this, it’s easy for people to feel vulnerable, nervous, or even fearful about having these important conversations. But being able to have candid conversations about race is essential for creating a truly inclusive work culture. So how do you even start?
Leveraging the same communication skills you use for any difficult discussion is key, but when it comes to having conversations about race, there are 3 essential concepts that you must understand before the conversation even starts in order for it to be meaningful — trust, identity, and power.
Join us for the second part of our discussion with Ancella Livers, an expert in the field of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and author of Leading in Black and White, and Nicole Forward of our coaching practice to discover how to attune our signature 4-part conversational framework to help you have more powerful and effective conversations about race.
