SUMMARY:Forum Webinar\, Mastering Cultural Differences: Strategies for Leading a Global Workforce
DESCRIPTION:When: May 27\, 2021 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CST\nLevel: Introductory\nTrack: Global Diversity\nPresenter: Luiza Dreasher\, Mastering Cultural Difference\nCost: Free\, $15 Suggested Donation \nRegister at https://forumworkplaceinclusion.org/webinars/mastering-cultural-differences-strategies-for-leading-a-global-workforce/ \nWith the trend toward a more diverse workforce continuing\, so are the ways we conduct business. In the past\, most U.S. businesses functioned primarily within our borders. Today\, globalization is proving to be a huge game changer for many companies\, big and small. With globalization and increased immigration\, the potential for misunderstandings in the workplace is really high. First\, language differences may lead to miscommunication and misinterpretation. Second you fail to take into account significant cultural differences. For example\, during a performance review\, you provide constructive criticism to an employee with the intent of helping him improve his performance. Later on you learn that he quit his job because of the shame and loss of face your feedback caused. In this interactive Webinar\, you will understand the impact of cultural differences in the workplace and learn strategies to bridge those differences effectively. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nLearn the importance of paying attention to cultural differences in the workplace\nRecognize differences in communication styles\nApply strategies to communicate effectively with a global workforce

SUMMARY:Forum Presentaion\, When Our Identities Conflict – Learning to See and Hear Each Other Across Difference
DESCRIPTION:When: May 20\, 2021 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm CST \nWhere: Online/Video Conference \nCost: $30 Suggested Donation \nRegister here: https://forumworkplaceinclusion.org/dibs/when-our-identities-conflict-learning-to-see-and-hear-each-other-across-difference/ \nPresenters: Bill Proudman\, White Men as Full Diversity Partners/FDP Global  |  Hayward Bell\, Raytheon Company RETIRED  |  Kimberly B. Davis\, National Hockey League  |  Lee Tschanz\, Rockwell Automation  |  Amy Wilczynski\, Anderson & Rust – Borough of Allendale\, NJ \nWhat do we believe about ourselves as a people and country — the UNITED States of America? What values do we pass on to our children and their children’s children? What resonates for us\, and why? \nJoin us for a moderated panel discussion that explores understanding our beliefs and values\, what underwrites our political identities\, and how to influence ourselves and our interactions in partnership and leadership across many difference points of view. \nAfter the January 6 insurrection at the US Capital\, an ideological and heartfelt battle took place in our mediascapes: Some cried\, “This is not who we are!” while others replied\, “Yes\, it is. And it has been.” \nHow we define and understand ourselves and our country is deeply personal. For some of us\, the contest over who we are sends us spiraling into our own perceived failings and blame. For others\, it perpetuates generations-long feelings of oppression and silencing\, an annihilation of self and community. \nOur beliefs are often incomplete and based on how our parents and their parents viewed the world – what they valued\, believed\, and passed on to us as our cultural legacy. And\, what we believe and how others share their beliefs touches the most profound parts of ourselves\, influencing not only our political identities\, but also how we enter into partnership\, particularly across difference; how we lead; and how we feel we belong at work\, at home\, and in life. \nTo build inclusive and equitable workplaces\, we have to be willing to deeply know ourselves and how our beliefs and values shape how we see and judge others. This self awareness is an underpinning of full partnership. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nLearn how to deeply listen to hear and recognize the humanity in ourselves and each other\nEmbrace paradoxes of sameness and difference\, individual and group\nExplore how our mindsets are shaped by our beliefs and values (what underpins our political identities)

SUMMARY:Forum Event - Religion in the Workplace: Interfaith Skills to Engage Difference
DESCRIPTION:When: May 6\, 2021 11:00 am – 12:30 pm CST\nWhere: Online/Video Conference\nCost: $30 Suggested Donation\nLevel: Intermediate\nTrack: Critical Employment Practices \nPresenters: Megan Hughes Johnson\, Interfaith Youth Core  |  Jenan Mohajir\, Interfaith Youth Core \nReligious diversity is an incredibly important part of American public life. Controversies regarding religion and business are regularly in both the press and the courts and more Americans say that they encounter religious diversity at work than in any other sphere of their life (PRRI\, 2019). However\, religion is often left out of the corporate diversity conversation. Diverse identities and perspectives on a team can lead to greater outcomes or can lead to misunderstanding and conflict. It is only when diverse identities are engaged\, and team members have opportunities to intentionally learn about one another\, that the potential strength of workplace diversity is unlocked. Developing a company culture that proactively engages religious diversity can open doors to greater employee productivity\, enhanced client satisfaction\, and even new business prospects. Join IFYC to explore why engaging religion matters in the workplace\, workshop challenging scenarios\, and identify your interfaith skillset. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nLearn why engaging religious diversity matters in the workplace\nUnderstand and apply interfaith frameworks to common tensions in the workplace related to religious identity and diversity\nIdentify concrete skills to engage religious diversity and enhance workplace culture

SUMMARY:Forum Webinar: From Bystander to Ally
DESCRIPTION:When: April 15\, 2021 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CT\nLevel: Intermediate\nTrack: Social Responsibility\nPresenters: Dr. Daniel Cantor Yalowitz\, DCY Consulting  |  Tatyana Fertelmeyster\, Connecting Differences\, LLC \nCost: Free \nWhen anyone is confronted by any form of aggression\, whether verbal\, physical\, social\, or economic\, it is natural to feel fear\, doubt\, and paralysis. This is important in assessing critical next steps if we happen to be a bystander. We must also look at our own fears and triggers as they\, too\, play a role in how we may react or respond to any potential conflict or confrontation. \nDuring this webinar participants will consider some very important questions as they devise their own ways of responding to triggering situations. How does privilege impact decisions to engage in conflict and whether/how to respond? When is allyship an act of support\, and when is it not? Who gets to decide? How do we deal with our own emotional responses to aggression and confrontation? How can one become an effective ally in a virtual work world and how does this differ from an in-person workplace? \nLearning Outcomes \n\nKnow how to decide when to intervene as an active bystander\nIdentify and manage their personal emotional triggers\nUtilize practical tools to engage in building allyship for safety in their workplace

SUMMARY:Forum Presentation\, Removing the Red & Blue Divide: What It Means for Corporate America and Belonging

Davis\, National Hockey League  |  Bill Proudman\, White Men as Full Diversity Partners/FDP Global  |  Lee Tschanz\, Rockwell Automation  |  Amy Wilczynski\, Borough of Allendale\, NJ \nThe announcement that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the electoral and popular vote for the next US President is\, for many\, a highly-awaited and anticipated moment. For others\, it’s an acute loss. \nOur most important work\, right now\, is to put in motion the practices and programs to create cohesion\, build community and help leaders reach across difference. \nThat said\, it’s become dangerous to talk about politics at work even though the political divide now more than ever inhibits positive connection\, at work\, at home\, and in our communities. This divide threatens progress towards more diverse and equitable workplaces. \nNow\, amidst this divisiveness\, is the opportunity for workplaces to double down and equip their leaders on how to bridge the divide. There is no time to waste. \nLearning Outcomes \n\nBe clear on why diversity\, equity\, and inclusion work matters\, especially right now\nPush your inclusive leadership skills for today’s unique needs\nExplore how to narrow divides and speak to divergent groups

SUMMARY:White Fragility and Microagressions In the Workplace: When Good People Behave Badly\, DAY 3
DESCRIPTION:When: April 24\, 2020 11:00 am – 12:00 pm CST\nLevel: Intermediate\nTrack: Social Responsibility\nPresenter: Nancy Michael\, AMAZEworks\nCost: FREE \n\nDue to overwhelming demand\, this webinar is being offered on three separate days. This is Day 3 of 3 dates offered for this webinar. Additional dates available are located below: \n\nDay 1\, Spots Available\nDay 2 **AT CAPACITY**\n\nOften\, good intentions receive more attention than the negative impacts they may produce. In the same way white superiority created the systems and structures we have in place\, it also created the ability for the people who benefit overlook the effects on those who are marginalized or injured. When confronted with these truths\, the reactions of many if not most white Americans fall under the category of white fragility. \nThis is an intense focus on the feelings of white people when their understanding of themselves and their world is challenged. \nWhite fragility feeds on the fact that white people generally do not see themselves in racial terms and therefore are not affected by racism. It also works through a simplistic understanding of racism and a belief that white people are generally objective and free of bias. This webinar highlights the ways white fragility appear in the workplace and how it can be addressed for individual and organizational growth. \nLearning Outcomes\n\nGain an understanding of where white fragility comes from\nExplore examples of how it appears in equity work and in the workplace\nExamine strategies that address white fragility and create buy-in

SUMMARY:New Voices\, New Visions: IDEAS About The Future of D&I From Next-Gen Leaders
DESCRIPTION:As next-generation leaders continue to define our world\, bridging the gap between generations is vital for ensuring strong talent pipelines\, mutual knowledge sharing\, collaborative innovation and sustainable growth. One of the core hallmarks of the millennial generation is the high value we place on Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity\, Accessibility\, and Social Justice (IDEAS). In this session\, we will draw on the insights of Inclusion NextWork’s community of rising leaders across backgrounds\, geographies\, industries\, and experience levels to explore new ways in which our generation engages with IDEAS. What does incorporating an IDEAS lens across generations mean for the current and future trends in inclusive leadership in our organizations and communities? How can you as an organizational leader advocate for intergenerational collaboration by identifying and fostering the voices of emerging talent to inform your D&I strategy? Conversely\, what can you as a rising leader do to cultivate your own voice and be an IDEAS champion regardless of industry\, department\, seniority level or background experience? Whether a current or emerging leader\, you will leave this session with new insights and inspiration to engage next gen leaders as powerful partners in the future of D&I! \nLearning Outcomes\n\nHear new insights from next generation leaders on Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity\, Accessibility\, and Social Justice\nLeverage these insights from the next generation to innovate your D&I approach\nCultivate strategies to drive D&I impact from any position in your organization or community

SUMMARY:Culture Clash: Can Latino Culture Identity and Corporate Culture Be Reconciled?
DESCRIPTION:The Forum on Workplace Inclusion Online Webinar\nWhen: October 24\, 2019 11:00 am – 12:00 pm\nLevel: Intermediate\nTrack: D&I Strategy\nPresenter: Andres Tapia\, Korn Ferry\nCost: Free\, Online Webinar \nRegister at https://forumworkplaceinclusion.org/webinars/culture-clash/ \nCorporate America says it wants more Latinos in manager and leadership roles. Latino professionals in growing numbers aspire to achieve these leadership positions. Yet what should be mutually reinforcing trends to speed up advancement are instead two forces increasingly in conflict due to deep differences between corporate culture and Latino culture. If corporations really want to create more Latino leaders\, they must go beyond the necessary public declarations in support of diversity and take a zero-tolerance stance toward overt bias. This requires facing up to unconscious cultural biases that can negatively affect the evaluation of both the performance and the potential of Latino talent and generate work environments that are unattractive to many Latinos. In this session\, Latino talent expert Andrés Tapia will highlight key findings based on their newly published book\, “Auténtico: The Definitive Guide to Latino Career Success.” Specifically\, the session will demonstrate why corporate America is totally unprepared for the future workforce that will have an increasingly Latino identity. Numerous examples will be provided on how corporate cultural norms are often at odds with common aspects of Latino heritage and behavioral tendencies. Finally\, solutions will be shared on how to create corporate cultures that are more inclusive towards Latinos and which help to create the conditions that will nurture Latino career advancement. \nLearning Outcomes\n\nRecognize the importance of Hispanic heritage and Latino Culture in shaping the workplace behavior of Latino professionals\nCompare Latino Culture against Corporate America Culture across 6 key cultural dimensions\nDevelop solutions to the Latino and Corporate Culture Clash.
