THE FUTURE IS NOW:
UNDERSTANDING GLOBAL DIVERSITY WORKSHOP In the new millennium America has truly become a melting pot. But many of us still believe that our country is land of “Ozzie & Harriet,” “The Brady Bunch” or even “Good Times”. The United States has in fact become a country where the local high school jock could have a name like Javier, Avinish or Obama, and the campus sweetheart might easily be Bala, Mih-ho or Liya. This workshop will provide participants with confidence about the global age that we’re living in. Methods will be introduced that will help groups find a common ground with people from different backgrounds or who have different points of view. Presentation will include: • Understanding the value of diversity and inclusion • How to prepare for global social and professional interactions • How to effectively integrate global diversity and inclusion into your career Action Plan • Understanding Diversity Resource Kit BECOMING AN AGENT OF CHANGE From evolution, to revolution change is a constant in our everyday lives. The ability to change is an essential leadership trait and mastering the ability to influence others to do the same can guarantee you big-ticket success. In his key-note address, Mr. Robertson speaks on the role that change plays in our everyday lives, and how the ability to harness the emotions connected to it can make you a winner. Talking points include: • How to adapt change into your everyday life • Understanding the psychology of change • How to achieve a leadership position with change • The pros and cons of change • How to notice "change" taking place in your life (the signs, symptoms and utterances) • A "Change Action Plan" - how to move from problems to solutions; creating a checklist of things that can help you move forward UNDERSTANDING RACE IN AMERICA Based on his forthcoming book, “Family Affair: Deconstructing the African American Community” (Agate), Robertson moderates this provocative discussion that delves into the psyche of African-Americans. Presentation points includes: a) an examination of the themes and issues that have shaped the African American identity. b) Setting the record straight on misconceptions held towards African Americans. c) Finding self-love, respect and value in the Black community.
