Event Description:
March DEI Workshop: Interrupting Bias, Bigotry, Stereotypes and Negative Assumptions at Work
Starting (s) Track
Bigoted comments, jokes, negative assumptions and stereotypes are challenging because they can provoke our emotions and make us reactive, scared, confused, uncertain, judgmental, and less able to access our intelligence and good thinking. This workshop will offer participants a number of tips, useful questions and boundary-setting statements that can help you to intervene or respond calmly in the presence. There will be time to brainstorm possible interventions and responses to examples for which people would like strategies.
Presented by: Laura Branca, TFC Associates https://tfcassociates.org/about-us
With gratitude to sponsors Cayuga Health System, Community Foundation of Tompkins County, BorgWarner, and Chemung Canal Trust Company for their support.

There are six workshops in total. Where you’re at in your journey of DEI exploration will be helpful in determining which workshops to attend.
