Offended people’s perception is their reality! We address the words, tone, actions & behaviors that may come across as offensive.  We improving how people come across to others.

Our common-sensed approach to sensitivity & harassment prevention training is different from other training providers. Instead of delivering what is really just a legally-focused anti-discrimination course and labeling it “sensitivity or harassment prevention training,” we actually identify & address the causes of insensitive, disrespectful or harassing behavior.  Yes, we tackle the legal issues because they are important. But, they do little to actually change a manager’s or employee’s behavior or thinking.

We believe the vast majority of people don’t come to work looking to intentionally be insensitive, offensive or disrespectful.  Something happens: they get angry; they open their mouth; their brain stops; and quite frankly, they say or do something stupid! We work with the learners to identify their communication and behavior styles – not just from their perspective – but more importantly, from the perception of their managers, employees, colleagues, co-workers & customers. They have to better understand how their actions or communications style may be perceived by others…in many cases, it’s not just what was said…it was how it was said. In our training, your learners will build action plans to enhance a more respectful and harassment-free workplace. When we are training managers, we especially emphasize they have to understand their responsibilities as role models to their employees and stewards of your organization’s reputation.
