The I-Word, Where Inclusion Gets Personal
Course Content
The I-Word is for those who want to take their self-awareness to a deeper level, moving from self-awareness to self inclusion and compassion. But don’t be fooled – this is not fluff.
Change has to be met with change: to create change in how we show up – whether that be showing up anti-racist or anti-ableist showing up with more understanding and curiosity – we need to create change in how we operate mentally and emotionally. In this two-session experience we’ll learn the root of change is not a habit but thought; to create the change we have to reduce the power that limiting / toxic / prejudiced thoughts have over us and; we need personal systems in place to keep our change consistent.
Takeaways
Both sessions are a facilitated process where you are the expert of your own experience and I help you better understand the meaning behind those experiences. You get what you give with this session. If you give your fullest then by the end of the session you will have:
- Identified a key change you want to make in how you show up.
- Pinpointed what is holding you back from changing.
- Created a clear path to behavior change.
Training methods
We’ll be doing cycles of experiencing, unpacking/reflecting, and then practicing tools.
- Facilitation: participants will be doing most of the talking during sessions through activities and key questions
- Exploration and reflection: both in session and between modules participants will be exploring concepts together, doing life-related intermodular work (always with a focus on exploration and reflection).
- Playshop: sessions use humor, live coaching, and a sense of playfulness to help make deeper content easier to manage, to bring learning to life, and drive motivation to grow.
