CGVT is pleased to share this VBSR Webinar. Questions? Please reach out to VBSR Education & Events Manager, Molly Barfuss, at [email protected].
In this workshop, attendees learn to showcase their commitment to improving marginalized groups’ material well-being in the workplace. Together we will explore conflict resolution using Nonviolent Communication (NVC). NVC is a tactic for conflict resolution and community building. Utilizing NVC empowers us to recognize our unmet needs and advocate for ourselves. NVC is foundational to any culturally competent workplace as it provides all employees with the tools for metacognition, empathy, and action-planning.
This workshop combines expert equity insights and rich lived experience to transform virtue-signaling into action. From everyday workplace interactions to Organization-wide decision making, Allies & Accountability is a roadmap to ensure Nonviolent Communication, Equity, and Intentionality are at the center of your efforts.
Registration for this training is $45 for VBSR members and $65 for non-members. Details to join will be sent via email to all who register in advance of the event.
