In an increasingly diverse workplace, understanding communication patterns between different groups and identities is crucial. Understanding the complexities of microaggressions is essential for fostering inclusive and effective communication. In this session, we will look at the impact of microaggressions and explore practical strategies to navigate these challenges successfully.
Using relatable workplace examples, we will uncover nuances, underlying dynamics, and unconscious biases that perpetuate these subtle (and often unintentional) acts of discrimination and marginalization. We will also explore the consequences of microaggressions on an individual’s well-being and workplace experience, highlighting the need for awareness and action.
Equipped with practical insights and strategies, you will learn to recognize, address, and mitigate microaggressions, fostering open and respectful communication. You will be able to leave this webinar with actionable insights to foster a more inclusive and respectful work environment where effective communication paves the way for collaboration, understanding, and belonging. Together, let's decode microaggressions and create a more harmonious and equitable workplace that fosters a culture that values diversity and respects the experiences of all.

Often described as “approachable” and “relatable” by her clients, she works with purpose and the intention of being engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to real-world situations. Jina draws from her unique background and mix of work experiences to offer examples and share insights designed to benefit everyone across the workplace ecosystem – executives, management, employees, and customers.
