​​​​Education

Each course contains 3 - 4 lessons with both written content & videos. 

​​​​​​​

Course #1: What is D&I?

Learn what this diversity and inclusion business is all about and why it is such a buzzword at the moment. Learn why genuine diversity is so much better than just doing it to tick a box. 
Lesson A: What is diversity & inclusion?
Lesson B: Why is D&I good for business
Lesson C: Why is D&I good for staff

Course #2: How to Implement D&I

There's no point in bringing in new diversity & inclusion initiatives if your organisation isn't ready for them. See why it is so important to first create an open minded culture (and how to actually do it).
Lesson A: Choose a D&I area 
Lesson B: Talk to your staff 
Lesson C: Take action 

Course #3: Unconscious Bias

The thing about unconscious bias is that we all have it, but we can't see it. Learn how to start seeing it in yourself, how to manage it, then how to start calling others out on it.  
Lesson A: Where does unconscious bias come from?
Lesson B: What kind of biases are there?
Lesson C: Ways to combat your own bias

Course #4: Discriminatory Language

So,you have created the environment and you are ready to go. Where do you even begin? Learn the best place to start, why it is so easy and how to take the first step on the journey.  
Lesson A: What kind of language are we talking about?
Lesson B: Why is it important?
Lesson C: How to start

Ongoing Course: Micro lessons

So, you've started the conversation about diversity & inclusion.  Leaders seem motivated and ready to create change. But, two weeks down the track, conversations have slowed down and other work is building up, pushing diversity & inclusion initiatives down the pile. How do you keep the momentum going?

This is where the micro lessons come in. They are there to provide on-the-go education and conversations about diversity & inclusion. The ‘micro lesson’ nature of this service means that each snippet of information is tiny, making it easy to digest and remember!

This is a sustainable way to build an organisation that incorporates and values diversity & inclusion. A new micro lesson will appear in your inbox twice a month. Each micro lesson will contain:- 

• Information on a new discriminatory word or habit 
• Some history on where it originated 
• Why that word or habit isn't great 
• Suggestions for alternatives 
• A printable poster to put up by the water cooler 

All you have to do is put the poster up (we recommend in the staff room), then sit back and listen to the amazing conversations that occur.
