Thank you!
This isn’t just another training program. It’s designed to be engaging, shame-free, and reflective, with built-in checkpoints to help you process and apply what you’ve learned.
No! While we believe that leaders and those with authority can definitely benefit from engaging in this work, this course is built for anyone to grow their knowledge and practical skills around equity and inclusion.
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, we believe that DEIB concepts are best learned online, where we're most likely to bring our whole selves, and least likely to worry about how we're showing up in front of colleagues or friends. We've created a shame-free environment that prioritizes psychological safety to explore these important topics with confidentiality.
Complete the course at your own pace, and return to it as often as you like. You'll receive additional resources and a certificate after completing the course. Access is lifelong.
