“Thank you so much for such an enlightening & informative webinar. I learned so much that I don't know where to begin. We're all guilty of biases and microaggressions, but it's about self-awareness, acceptance that I need to think differently in how I communicate and take action to do better. I learned new terms such as micro-assaults, micro-insults, and micro-invalidations. I'll start referring to them as the “M” words. I'll be mindful of 5 myths about microaggressions.”

Keynote by Dr. Tana M: How to Effectively Recognize & Address Microaggressions

We are hearing the term “Microaggressions” more often than ever before. Employees are confused about what they can and can’t say or ask their co-workers. Managers are confused about how to address employee complaints from those who represent the marginalized workforce. In order to truly foster an inclusive culture where all employees feel a sense of inclusion and belonging, it is important to become comfortable having uncomfortable conversations, and learning how to shift how we engage and communicate with each other in our daily lives.

Takeaways:
Gain a deeper understanding of Microaggressions. Understand how to identify Microaggressions when they occur in and outside of the workplace. Develop the language to help address Microaggressions when you witness it demonstrated by others (“Bystander Allyship”). Experience a positive mind-shift and view about others who you interact with daily.
