What's LAUNCH for Lawyers Microaggressions @ Work All About?
I know you want to run an inclusive legal team. I know you want to be part of an inclusive legal workplace. So let's talk microaggressions - the hurtful conversations and interactions that we need to end if we want to reach real inclusion in our legal profession.
We start by understanding what microaggressions are and how they reveal themselves in our legal organizations. Then we learn a framework for how to address microaggressions using real-life situations. Next, we'll see what undermines effective communication at work and how to solve it. Finally, you'll work through three workplace scenarios and design real solutions for effectively communicating with your clients and fellow legal professionals.
Let's build a legal workplace where belonging matters and microaggressions are stopped for good.
