Presentation Topic:

Have you ever walked into an office to speak to someone and instead of giving eye contact they motion you in, but still continue working on that email? Or maybe, you walk into a conference room for a project meeting and you are repeatedly ignored when providing input?  These subtle small moments can lead to BIG moments in the future where members of the team feel they don't have a voice and don't add value.  This is the last feeling anyone should want anyone on a team to feel.  But, these subtle moments happen often.  In order to be successful on projects you need to collaborate and work with the project team, and though it's important to have the technical skills, and business acumen, to do the job, it is also important to understand how your words and behaviors impact those with whom you work. 

So let's take a moment to focus on how something so small can make the biggest impact, and let's make sure our impact is a positive one, instead of negative. 

In this interactive workshop participants will learn:

• The difference between micro-inequities and micro-aggressions and their impact

• Interact with different scenarios to understand the impact of micro-inequities

• Tips and best practices on how to handle micro-inequities
