Equity by Design Workshop

Equity by Design Workshop:
Managing the Challenge of Living & Leading in a Multicultural World

A 90-minute workshop via Zoom that will be facilitated by entrepreneur Jeremiah J. Jackson; a Leadership Oakland alumni and career educator and facilitator with over 20 years of success inspiring and empowering leaders to excellence in their individual and collective endeavors.
During this workshop, Jeremiah will lead participants through an experience to:

1. Expand your tool kit to manage DEI challenges proactively and strategically
2. Practice effective tactics to address DEI challenges with dignity and grace
3. Learn the definitions, frameworks and standards that are part of effective and measurable DEI programs and practices
4. Access resources to support effective practice and practitioners

 
Core ideas and concepts we will introduce and explore during the session include: Cultural Competence, Ethics & Morals, Equity & Inclusion, and Race & Ethnicity. Questions we will explore include:

• How do we publicly address issues/challenges regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion explicitly?
• How do we facilitate meaningful dialogue to effectively alleviate/ameliorate distress and dysfunction impacting people?
• How can a small team with limited capacity prioritize this DEI work and meet our daily operational needs?
