This half-day Race Ahead training comprises of a collection of interactive dialogues, training, and strategies to sharpen participant skills and strategies to address systemic exclusion and advance ethnically fair organizations. These sessions use cognitive-based therapeutic strategies to encourage participants to better understand the ill effects of racialism and the exclusive systems it produces to the detriment of societal health and organizational performance. Participants will engage in a series of dialogues, exercises, and scenarios that uncover the roots of racialism and show how through collective effort, one can dismantle these systems of exclusion by applying inclusive behaviors and thinking.
