“Our speaker, Randi Bryant, was always on top of the ball!”
It’s naïve to think that people who have largely lived in homogenous communities and have gone to homogenous schools would be armed with the tools necessary to operate in a diverse workforce. This is particularly true where sociologic history and evolution have led us to feel most comfortable operating in silos of commonality. However, this type of isolation does not allow individuals or organizations to work most effectively. And while individuals may raise diversity concerns at home or in their social circles, they are less likely to air concerns at work. Accordingly, the facilitation of open and honest conversations is key.
Key Elements:

Most of us aren't racist, sexist, or homophobic. Rather, we're just ignorant. We've spent our entire social and professional lives dealing almost exclusively with people who are just like us. So when we go to school or work with diverse groups, we don't have the life experience or the cultural vocabulary to interact effectively with those populations. This can often result in communication missteps that offend. Neversays is your guidebook to learn and avoid these pitfalls.
