Building Belonging – Creating an Inclusive Organization

This comprehensive Program includes all six Building Belonging Courses plus a bonus culminating Workshop. Each of the 7 sessions is 3.5 hours in length. It is suggested to allow ~30 days between modules. 

The Program includes three complimentary 60-minute consultations. The initial consultation focuses on tailoring the learning to your organization’s goals and culture. The second consultation is a mid-point check-in discussion and a review of your current strategic plan. Participants will complete a comprehensive, anonymous culminating evaluation. The final consultation is a “next steps” planning discussion based on the results of the culminating evaluations. 

Participants will complete an anonymous course evaluation following each session.   

Pre-coursework may be assigned.
