D.A.R.E to Have a DEI Conversation: The Formula For Conversational Competence
Companies have spent billions of dollars on DEI education and still, no one is really talking about DEI. Sure, we know the dimensions of diversity, and what unconscious bias is. We know all of the right words but we don't know how to say them. In our efforts to educate on DEI, we missed something. We missed the importance of conversational competence in the formula for change around DEI. People need a formula to have these tough, uncomfortable conversations. Formulas increase the likelihood of success and this session will provide the needed formula for productive DEI conversations.

- Learn the formula for conversational competence that can be used in many scenarios.
- Hear what you should be talking about related to DEI.
