Topic 1: Understanding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Jun 23, 2022, 1pm EST
Presenter: Jeff Rogers
Jeff Rogers is an Executive/Leadership Coach and Facilitator who has been training, coaching, and
facilitating for over 10 years in Greater Boston. He specializes in the Solution-Focused Method,
Radical Candor, and in working with “low-trust, high-heterogeneity” groups people that are not necessarily predisposed to agree.
Understanding DEI is a 1-hour interactive session that will demystify what Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion really are. There is no lecture --- it’s a guided presentation, with exercises, anecdotes,
and a great deal of facilitated conversation, that will help participants wrap their minds around why this lens
is essential, where we sometimes go wrong, and what we can change to do better.

Neurodiversity refers to the difference in how brains experience and interact with the world. In this webinar, we will learn how to embrace Neurodiversity in the workplace fully. This can enable us to uncover new ideas and perspectives that may have gone unnoticed. Perceived differences are often the biggest strengths in a work setting and beyond.
