BENEFITS TO YOUR TEAM:
1. Celebrate IWD together, learn, open their hearts and minds, have a good laugh, tear up, connect and feel inspired and equipped to take action.

2. Develop their capacity, personal tools and courage to listen, learn and have difficult conversations. Busting down the echo chambers of our beliefs and unconscious patterns is needed more than ever so that we can create an environment where everyone can truly belong, thrive and feel empowered to create.

3. Develop their emotional and social intelligence to employ a better understanding of themselves and how they view, value and interact with each other. Amal offers inner reflection, outer reflection, and practical solutions and action steps to move forward to embrace equity, diversity and inclusion.

WHY NOW?
On International Women's Day, we center women and non-binary folks who are/were socialized as females, and we must consider the intersectionality that systems of inequality have. While most of the laws and company policies support equity, diversity and inclusion, the culture of how we interact, value and see each other remains. There's no denying the loud or insidious inequalities, the passing (and constant) comments, the dynamics, the closed doors, glass ceilings, and the internalized beliefs this chronic disempowerment has on each individual. This is a yes and conversation. And having difficult conversations is one of the key ways forward to create a more inclusive, equal and equitable world, together and for each other.

While having a cognitive understanding of a social issue can help tremendously, it is through understanding the trauma that those social issues have on all of us, that we can move forward with a deeper understanding of ourselves, each other and our environments.  This is needed to create an environment based on an ecology of thriving where everyone can feel safe, seen and heard.

Amal is looking forward to connecting with you and collaborating for your IWD Celebration
