“Cultures Connecting has been instrumental in helping our Race and Social Justice Committee successfully address challenging situations as we focus our mission within the Seattle Housing Authority’s Community Service Division. They led our committee volunteers through a strategic planning process in which we created a clear plan of action as well as a more productive committee process. As one of the volunteer co-facilitators of our Race and Social Justice Committee, I greatly appreciate the ongoing guidance and support through the difficult work of social change within a large organization.”

Advanced Microaggressions for Leaders

How to Facilitate Difficult Conversations

This strategy-based workshop is designed for supervisors, managers, and leaders who want to improve their ability to lead their staff through difficult conversations. Participants learn eight strategies for engaging staff when tension exists due to microaggressions and other types of comments that cause tension. Together we will explore intent vs. impact, public vs. private conversations, calling in vs. calling out, and other ways of thinking that are necessary in determining your approach. Leaders will develop their skills for approaching challenging situations in a way that invites healing, creates psychological safety, increases their staff’s ability to have courageous conversations, and promotes growth when confronted with cross cultural conflicts.

Facilitators: Caprice D. Hollins, Psy.D.
Location: This event is virtual and the Zoom link will be emailed to participants.
Schedule: January 23 & 24th, 8:30am-12:00pm PST each day
