Boosting Inclusion at a Workplace by Including Invisible Disabilities

Disabilities can come in many different forms. Most people are familiar with a "visible" disability. If you see someone at work using a wheelchair, wearing a hearing aid or using an assistive device, you likely are aware the person has a disability. However not all disabilities are obvious to the eye.  An invisible disability is just as life-affecting as a visible one, but they're not as talked about and easily understood. Disability is consistently overlooked in conversations about diversity & inclusion".

The Power of Experiential Learning to Drive Inclusive Mindsets and Behaviors

This workshop will introduce participants to the power of experiential learning and how to properly implement it in support of diversity & inclusion efforts. First, we will discuss what it means to use experiential learning. Participants will then learn how to properly prepare facilitators from marginalized groups and be able to avoid the dangers of poor preparation. Finally, participants will learn how to utilize experiential learning and put it in practice.
