"Avoid different meanings for different people"

Establishing Working Definitions on
Your Equity Journey
At the heart of equity work are difficult conversations around anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, but often the powerful words have different meanings for different people. This can lead to misunderstanding and discomfort – reactions that are avoidable if you establish working definitions before you start the conversation.
Join Dr. Dennis Carpenter for an interactive discussion about this prerequisite to your equity conversations. He’ll look at how to establish your definitions, gain consensus to avoid triggering your participants, and lead successful and productive conversations on your equity journey.
