How to eliminate microaggression & sexism in the workplace

Microaggressions happen everywhere, including at work. We may call microaggressions “micro” aggressions, but their cumulative impact can be measured on a “macro” scale…

Day-by-day, slight-by-slight, microaggressions can feel like “death by a thousand papercuts.” Given that most folks spend the majority of their lives at work, microaggressions in the workplace have a profound impact on people’s mental, spiritual, and even physical health.

An Asian-American woman born in America may hear such phrases when she expresses offense at the question: “Where are you really from?” A Black man’s hurt may be belittled when he’s told he’s “overreacting” when a co-worker calls him “one of the good ones.” And someone from the LGBTQ* community may be considered overly sensitive if they get fired up when someone remarks: “That’s so gay!”

Most of the time, it’s true that the speaker has no intention of causing offense or pain. People are often unaware of how their words or actions impact the recipient, whose experiences differ so much from their own. But regardless of intention, these instances of “microaggressions” have real effects on people’s lives. Much like unconscious biases, being unaware isn’t an excuse for perpetuating harmful behaviors or beliefs.

In this workshop, we will learn

– the various types of microaggressions,

– understand how it manifests at work,

– what to do when you’ve committed a microaggression (yes, everyone has committed unconsciously microaggressions) and,

– craft a plan to recognize and manage potential microaggressions when they surface to protect yourself and company cultures

Psychological Safety - How to thrive in male-dominated industries

Yes, Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President of the United States, was just sworn into office in 2021. We should celebrate this milestone!

But for Millennial women working in male-dominated fields where the boys’ club is still somewhat a thing, a workplace free of gender bias can seem like a pipe dream.

It’s also true that in the past 40 years, we have seen a steady increase of women entering male-dominated STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) — another milestone to celebrate. However, according to research, women in male-dominated careers face challenges such as:

  • Lack of support (both emotional and financial).
  • Feeling incompetent.
  • Mistreatment.
  • Lack of a voice.

While there are reasons to think the workforce is moving in the right direction, many women are not yet experiencing the benefits.

In this workshop, you will learn as an organization:

  • Overall strategy how to attract female talents into a male-dominated domains
  • Creation of a workplace culture that is inclusive and embraces diversity
  • Building psychological safety for men and women at work

In this workshop, you will learn as an individual practical tips on how to thrive in male-dominated fields and how to apply them to daily life.
