Our clients told us that their managers and leaders need more.
One-off workshops and digital learning just weren’t enough to get them implementing new knowledge. “We need programs that will really move the needle and give people a new toolkit they will actually use.”
So we designed two multi-session programs that set people up to learn in a way that sticks: manageable chunks of information that they implement right away, along with peer learning and support and customized coaching.
Commonsense communication for managers
Managers face all kinds of challenges, like motivating and guiding reports, improving teamwork, and giving good feedback. But outdated and distorted language can get in the way.
Problematic language increases organizational risk, lowers productivity, demoralizes teams, and drives away good employees. The result? Serious and ongoing hits to the bottom line.
Commonsense Communication for Managers shifts managers away from outdated language that is doing real damage and replaces it with modern and strategic language that works.
By the end of this multi-session program, managers will have learned how to:
Appropriately address and refer to people and groups
Identify offensive language beyond obvious slurs
Correct common language that undermines underrepresented people at work
Recognize and correct distortions that make workplaces toxic
Incorporate other perspectives and prevent erasure
