You will then move beyond the interpersonal sphere to explore institutional and structural dynamics, practicing skills for strategic change. Through engaging online exercises and required live virtual sessions held on Zoom, you will explore interpersonal connection and disconnection in the workplace and practice effective skills for meaningful dialogue across difference. Some of these factors include communication skills, difference in identity and lived experiences, as well as sociocultural and organizational norms. Research shows that many factors either facilitate or hinder connection. In this certificate program, you will expand your exploration of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace with a deep dive into four development areas: human connection, social identity, intergroup communication, and strategic change.
