- All of the trainings are constructed with consultation with the organisation or the group that desires me to facilitate their diversity training. The formats here are to give as an idea of how the diversity training sessions might be carried out, and what the facilitation might look like. This is not exhaustive, and consultation before I design a training program is necessary to have a better understanding of the organisation and its needs.
- The trainings are broken into three categories, 1-Day training, 2-Day training (1-Day training with a follow training with smaller groups in the organisation), and a 3-Day training. Different organizations have different needs that are affected by size, culture, the products they sell, the organisational culture, and even past diversity trainings, which all affects what kind of training will be suitable for an organisation.
- It must be clear that both the training outcomes, and the training content will highly depend on what the organisation desires. I offer diversity training and facilitation for different organisational needs. For example, for the most part, the 1-day training I offer as a general diversity training course. It can be tailored, but in general it covers the most important elements of diversity. The 3-day training covers important diversity topics in-depth, it can also be tailored to focus on “Cultural Diversity” training, or “LGBT Inclusivity” training, or “Race and Racism” training. The trainings are conducted in a public seminar engagement and discussion.
