Description

Building the Foundation: A Diversity in the Workplace Series
A quarterly series designed to kickstart your DEI leadership journey
DEI commitments don’t mean much if your organization doesn’t have the results that show the change you’re enacting in the workplace and broader community. At Flint & Genesee Group, our DEI efforts go a step further to dismantle the inequities within workplaces by prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion best practices within team and organization structure. Using an interactive learning approach, this DEI leadership series aims to ensure that managers have the right tools to effectively lead their teams.

Session 2: Self-Awareness and Implicit Bias
Self-awareness is the ability to recognize and understand our own emotions and the effect of our actions on other people. In the workplace, self-awareness is something all employees should strive for. By taking control of their own actions and emotions, a self-aware employee takes challenges in stride and reacts in a calm, professional manner. 
There are many techniques to improve self-awareness and this training will show how your team can benefit from implementing them.

Meet Your Facilitator
Sandra Etherly-Johnson, director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion & Community Relations at Flint & Genesee Group, is an experienced community organizer in academic, nonprofit, political, and faith-based organizations. As a leader of DEI, she aims to reduce the influence of bias — whether cultural, in-group or unconscious — not by striving for political correctness, but through building relationships with different people and fostering awareness both interpersonally and through monitoring of behaviors of others.

Etherly-Johnson has a bachelor’s degree in social work and holds DEI certifications and credentials to stay current in the trends and best practices in the field. She has developed and run many programs at federal, higher education and grassroots levels, giving her a unique perspective and approach to DEI and its practical applications in various settings. Her expertise has led her to facilitate multiple national DEI workshops, roundtable discussions and trainings.
