How might the content of this program or session change your perceptions, habits, ways of working, or view on the world?- We live and work in more diverse environments than ever before, and yet are more divided than ever. Afraid of offending, we avoid potentially challenging conversations with those from different backgrounds, evade conflict and allow negative dynamics to fester unaddressed, and miss out on opportunities to learn, connect and grow. We hope you will leave with increased curiosity about your unique inheritance story and that of those you work with, as well as practical tools to approach conversations about diversity, inclusion, identity and build trust with any group
How might you apply what you learn or experience in this program or session?- The Inheritance Project models an approach to genuine trust building in diverse groups, which can be used by any leader or CPS facilitator to enhance collaboration in a group
