Workshops

Our signature workshops are designed to empower BIPOC employees and leadership across organizations.

Workshops can be customized for a specific audience.

Workshop #1

Be Seen, Be Heard: Reclaim Power In Your Career

It's no secret that most companies–from startups to multi-nationals–have a vertical segregation problem: lots of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ employees at the bottom, very few at the top. Though addressing systemic and institutional inequalities requires much more than actions taken by those from marginalized communities, we still have great power as individuals.

This workshop teaches participants how to:

  • Speak up and proactively contribute to workplace conversations

  • Acquire the skills and confidence to increase visibility in their industry

  • Take ownership over their career growth and leadership.

Participants will leave this workshop with actionable, high-impact tools and strategies to empower themselves in their day-to-day, and in their overall career trajectory.

Workshop #2

Being The CEO Of Your Career: A Leadership Skills Workshop For Women Of Color

Gone are the days when only those with official leadership titles needed to learn how to lead in the workplace. In a fast-paced work environment, all team members must have a solid grasp on the fundamentals of leadership–so that they can take initiative, move the work forward, and be proactive in shaping company culture.

This workshop teaches participants how to:

  • Advocate for themselves in their career (i.e., identify and ask for more stretch opportunities, take on greater responsibility, become a team player)

  • Communicate assertively and proactively with colleagues and managers

  • Gain comfort increasing their visibility so as not to be overlooked in the workplace

Participants will leave this workshop with an understanding of what they bring to the table and how to communicate that to others, increased clarity on their career and leadership goals, and strategies to advance their careers to the next level.

Workshop #3

Your Career Next Steps: Navigating Career Transitions with Confidence

In times of organizational upheaval, it's common to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about our career direction. Even the most level-headed among us may experience anxiety, stress, or panic as we navigate a rapidly changing landscape–especially as women of color or people of color. It can be challenging to focus on our goals and next steps when our fight-or-flight instincts kick in.

But it's precisely during these moments of uncertainty that we can seize the opportunity to take stock of our careers to date, build our confidence, leverage our networks, and strategically plan our next moves.

That's where this workshop comes in. Through actionable tools, high-impact strategies, and mindset shifts, we'll empower participants to take their career next steps with confidence with:

  • A skills, strengths, and leadership qualities audit

  • Confidence-building strategies

  • A step-by-step process for identifying our career next steps, and

  • Effective networking tactics

By the end of the workshop, participants will have the tools, confidence, and renewed energy to gain clarity on what direction they want to take in their career, prioritize their action steps, and move forward with purpose––even amid uncertainty.

Workshop #4

The Art And Science Of Managing Up: What Women Of Color Need To Know

When employees start to disengage in the workplace–and their productivity starts to drop–it’s often because they don’t have a healthy, functional relationship with their direct supervisor. Even more alarming, studies have shown that up to 57% of employees have quit their jobs because of a poor relationship with their manager. Don’t let this happen to your company.

This workshop teaches participants how to:

  • See how managing up is crucial to their career success

  • Follow a simple formula to transform their relationship to their work, team, and company

  • Leverage their existing skill sets to manage up–and reach their own career goals

Participants will leave this workshop with a two-step action plan, three sample scripts, and resources for continued learning.
