DEI Facilitation and Social Status
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.
​
Participants will:
-
Increase their confidence in engaging staff in difficult conversations.
-
Learn strategies for facilitating group discussions.
-
Develop skills for engaging in deeper discourse when challenging situations arise.
Participants will also receive the Beyond the Workshop Guide for People Leaders, designed to reinforce and deepen the skills introduced during the workshop. Through structured reflection, application exercises, and language development tools, leaders build greater confidence in responding to harm while actively strengthening a workplace culture of belonging. This resource supports sustained accountability and leadership growth long after the session concludes.
​
Facilitator: Caprice D. Hollins, Psy.D.
Location: This event is virtual and the Zoom link will be emailed to participants.
Date: April 9 & 10 (both days)
Time: 8:30am-12:00pm PT / 11:30am-3:00pm ET each day
Microaggressions E-Course
Included with your workshop is 30 days access to our e-course Microaggressions: What are they and Why are they Harmful? taught by Dr. Hollins.
​
The Advanced Leaders workshop does not teach what microaggressions are. To take full advantage of this workshop, we encourage participants who have limited understanding of what microaggressions are to complete the e-course prior to the workshop. You will receive an e-course registration email after you enroll in this workshop.
DEI Facilitation and Social Status
Equity leadership is evolving.
​
Across the country, formal DEI roles are being restructured, renamed, or eliminated. In many organizations, the work has not disappeared, it has simply become more complex. Some leaders are carrying equity efforts under a different name. Others are navigating pushback, policy shifts, or heightened scrutiny. Many are doing this work while also holding their primary roles.
In this moment, clarity, strategy, and community matter.
​
This workshop brings together equity leaders, formal and informal, who are committed to sustaining belonging-centered organizational change even in shifting political and institutional climates. Participants will learn directly from Cultures Connecting’s seventeen-plus years of experience supporting hundreds of organizations through multicultural organizational development, resistance, and long-term culture change.
​
Facilitators Dr. Caprice Hollins and Ilsa Govan will share practical models, strategic frameworks, and implementation tools for moving equity initiatives forward with discernment and durability. In addition to guided learning, participants will engage in structured dialogue, problem-solving, and collaborative reflection with others navigating similar challenges.This is not just networking. It is strategic skill-building, collective learning, and grounded planning for what equity leadership requires now.
Our goal is for participants to leave with:
​
-
Surface and make meaning of how equity work is shifting within their organizations, including what is being sustained, renamed, or constrained.
-
Reflect on personal sustainability, including what it takes to stay grounded, resourced, and in practice while doing this work
-
Identify and share strategies that are helping to maintain momentum in the face of resistance, uncertainty, or changing expectations.
-
Learn tools to strengthen influence, alignment, and accountability.
-
Engage in problems of practice, offering and receiving support around real-time challenges.
We would love for you to be part of this learning community.
Date: Thursday and Friday, May 7 & 8
Time: 8:30-12:00pm PST, each day
Facilitators: Caprice D. Hollins, Psy.D. & Ilsa Govan, M.A.
