Honoring Our Common Differences: Reflective Actions for Inclusivity
Summary
Inclusivity is the practice of radical hospitality – where all people experience uncompromising respect and dignity. Inclusive organizations value and actively encourage multiple experiences and perspectives, creating a positive, collaborative environment in which people feel safe to be themselves and are able to contribute their best work to the organization. Counts as an MLMC elective or CPM class.
Details
It is essential to examine our own practices in the context of organizations and a society where the “isms” are deeply rooted. We are the instruments of change—the more we are aware of and understand our own filters, assumptions, power, and privilege, the greater chance we can use our energy and wisdom to facilitate positive social change and leave a legacy different than the one we inherited.
Learning objectives
The goals of this workshop are to create a safe forum to engage in self-reflection and dialogue with others about inclusivity.
You will:
- Explore how your life experiences and assumptions shape your understanding of and actions toward inclusivity
- Discover commonalities and differences between social identities and experiences of the “isms”
- Examine how “unconscious bias” leads to unintentional exclusion of others
- Gain insights into the costs and benefits of privilege
- Differentiate between non-discriminatory and inclusive behaviors
Enrollment is limited to 26 to create a safe forum for self-reflection and dialogue.

What Attendees Are Saying:
“I took Kathy’s diversity workshops to fine-tune myself as an instrument for this work. Because of the depth of her commitment and her mastery of how people change and grow, the workshops have helped me do exactly that. A lot of my work has been with Indian elders. Borrowing from their vocabulary, I would say that Kathy has ‘medicine’.”
– Rodney Horikawa
“Kathy’s strategy in introducing diversity issues into the workplace is par excellence!”
– Rev. David Couper
