This engaging large group presentation is an eye-opening experience for anyone working in the corporate world.

Both the personal and legal aspects of the issues will be highlighted in this presentation. Appropriate for everyone from administration to management.

PHASE 2: Gender-specific Workshops

2 hours each, up to 30 participants per workshop

In the gender-specific workshops participants will learn concrete strategies to use in their daily working lives. Strategies to identify inappropriate behaviours and skillfully manage those moments, which can range from slight discomfort to verbal or physical violation. Assertive communication, including voice tone and body language will be a strong focus. This is an experiential training which will ensure a healthy professional environment and the emotional, mental and physical safety of participants; both at the workplace and to and from work. 

 

Phase 2 - Program Outlines


Female-Identified – Phase 2

The Power of Wisdom

In these workshops, participants will be introduced to the POWER OF WISDOM: the power that every female-identified person has to listen to their intuition and stand up and speak up when faced with intimidation or violation including sexual harassment and sexual assault. The strategies include body language and verbal skills to effectively de-escalate harassment and potential violence as well as a practise to clarify sexual consent. Participants will learn to identify the voice of wisdom, identify inappropriate behaviours in themselves and others and assert boundaries without aggression or conflict.
