Leadership Training

Leaders at all levels play an essential role in creating a culture of inclusion – on teams, in departments, and in organizations. As part of that role, they especially must understand SAE and have the skills to address SAE when they happen. In these sessions, we skill practice leaders' ability to foster a feedback culture around this important topic and an inclusive culture more broadly. 

Small Groups

Small group workshops can be incredibly impactful for learning about SAE, sharing experiences, building community, and practicing responses to real or realistic SAE scenarios. We consider the perspective of people impacted by an SAE, the person who initiated it, or the people who are potential allies. 

Self-Paced Learning

Individuals can learn about SAE or can reinforce their learning through an interactive self-paced program that builds understanding and asks users how they would respond to common SAE scenarios. The eLearning be completed on our LMS or delivered as SCORM files to your internal LMS.
