LGBTQIA+ Allyship in the Workplace

Cultural humility invites us to start from a place where we explore our own views before attempting to understand another community. In an interactive lecture-based discussion, a trained host will lead your team through an insightful workshop covering:

• LGBTQIA+ basics and terminologies
• Individual perspectives on gender and sexuality norms and their impact on both LGBTQIA+ and cisgender heterosexual people
• Inclusive ways of thinking about gender, sex, and sexuality
• Implicit biases and how they can lead to microaggressions
• Upstander strategies to use against anti-LGBTQIA+ harassment and how to support those who are LGBTQIA+
• For those who are LGBTQIA+, what kind of allies do you want?

The instructor will then open up the space for participants to ask any questions or share thoughts about their own experience!

Note: This is a personal and engaging experience, which requires participation for value. Participants should come with an open mindset and ready to contribute to the conversation.
