Working with Humans: Diversity, Inclusion and Communication

This engaging and interactive workshop will provide participants with a deep-dive examination of diversity, inclusion and communication and the roles that they play in our work and our lives. Participants will also be introduced to tools for making their work (and other) relationships as authentic, valuable and effective as possible.
