From Unconscious Bias to Emotional Intelligence
Anita Rowe, Ph.D., Donna Stringer, Ph.D.
After decades of diversity and inclusion work, organizations continue to approach these issues as an individual training challenge. This workshop recognizes the need for both individual and organizational change for effectiveness. The session will begin by exploring the concepts and research related to unconscious bias, offering you an opportunity to identify and understand both your own personal areas of bias as well as biases that exist within your organization. You will learn tools for reducing bias by understanding and increasing emotional intelligence in the areas of affirmative introspection, self-governance, intercultural literacy, and social architecting. We will use interactive exercises to apply concepts to both personal development as well as organizational change strategies.

Defining, Developing and Defusing Difficult Dialogues
Anita Rowe, Ph.D., Donna Stringer, Ph.D.
Fear is the language of our times. Our communities, both domestic and global, are experiencing a wide range of volatile issues related to race, religion, and gender that people need to discuss and understand. Differences in experience can make these discussions difficult, no matter how well-intended we are. Unacknowledged bias, preconceived notions, and deep emotions can block communication. Using three core conceptual models (Contact Theory, Emotional Intelligence, and Stereotype Threat), this interactive workshop will offer useful tools and guide you through self-awareness exercises and challenging dialogues about real-life cross-cultural issues. Finally, you will identify applications for your personal and professional life. Our work is designed for anyone wishing to increase intercultural competence and comfort with difficult dialogues, whether in training, education, coaching, or management.

Emotional Intelligence and Diversity
Jorge Cherbosque, Ph.D., Lee Gardenswartz. Ph.D.
Emotional responses are often at the heart of interpersonal and organizational roadblocks to diversity culture change. This workshop applies the concepts of emotional intelligence to address the essential challenge of diversity: dealing with feelings that emerge when differences meet. It will provide skills that are much needed in today’s world, where divisiveness and polarization call for a counterpoint based in respect, empathy, and compassion. You will have the opportunity to learn about the specific aspects of emotional intelligence critical for success in diverse environments, and how they shape both personal and professional behavior. You will learn to use tools to increase competence in the four component areas of EID, and gain insight about your own strengths and areas for development. While this model was designed with the U.S. audience in mind, it has been used and adapted worldwide. This workshop has a $48 materials fee to cover the cost of the assessment tool.
