Overcoming Accent Discrimination
Date: February 12, 2025
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm Eastern
Have you ever felt dismissed or criticized because you speak English with an accent? Or witnessed a colleague or family member on the receiving end of “language discrimination”?
This kind of bias shows up in schools and workplaces, when people access government services or hire a contractor. And for those affected, it can be mentally exhausting and emotionally demoralizing. In this one-hour webinar, we’ll unpack what it sounds like and how those on the receiving end can deal with it.
10 Essential Tips for Better Slide Decks
Date: February 19, 2025
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pm Eastern
Your deck can’t actually make your presentation but we’ve all witnessed power points that undermine the speaker, bore the audience and make the meeting or conference session feel much longer than it actually was. On the other hand, if your deck is effectively designed, it can keep you on track, increase audience engagement and reinforce the insights you’re sharing so people leave the room feeling smarter than they were before. In under an hour, this webinar will demonstrate and explain 10 best practices for building better slide decks.
We also offer customized workshops for organizations. If you’re interested in offering professional development workshops for your staff, check out the list of workshops we offer.
