Preparing for DEI Training: A Guide to Creating a Safe and Productive Space
As you prepare for DEI training, it’s important to come in with an open mind and a willingness to engage in thoughtful reflection. The training will cover complex and sometimes challenging topics, and we want to ensure that everyone feels ready to participate in a productive and respectful environment. Here are some key points to consider as you prepare:
1. Approach with Openness and Positivity
Assume Positive Intent: Everyone comes to this training with different experiences and perspectives. Approach the content and your colleagues with curiosity and a desire to learn. Mistakes or misunderstandings are part of the process—focus on growing together.
Be Willing to Be Uncomfortable: DEI discussions often require us to confront uncomfortable truths about ourselves and society. Recognize that discomfort can be a sign of growth and that it’s okay to not have all the answers.
