Connecting To People: Seeing the Box

Beyond Unconscious Bias and Anti-racism Training

The Connecting to People program is a striking new and better approach to inclusion training. Bold in its conception, it challenges virtually every assumption underlying traditional DEI training. As a result, participants leave with powerful new insights, actionable strategies, and concrete skills for helping them connect with others in today's increasingly diverse work communities.

Unlike many DEI training programs, which are by nature divisive, Connections brings people together, thus helping organizations develop truly inclusive cultures, where employees, regardless of their background, feel supportive of one another and know that they belong.

Organizations committed to the idea that inclusion is a goal worth pursuing but disillusioned with the lack of progress should consider this transformational approach.
