Dealing with Micro-aggression and Conflict in the Workplace

to join this exclusive three-hour training session on dealing with
micro-aggression and conflict in the workplace, presented by certified
mediators Delia Joseph and Karen Ridd. This virtual session will take place on
Zoom. This training isn't just about black and white issues: it's about acts
(intentional and, more often than not, unintentional) that limit the ability
of people from any marginalized group to flourish. When that happens they,
and we all, occupy a world that is less than it could be. For a detailed
