Subject: I took the easy approach
Preheader: [Equitable facilitation course - discount ends in 2 days]

Dear %user.name_f%, 

I have been facilitating groups for 23 years now. 

In my early days, I tended to focus my attention on the people who had values similar to mine.  

Or came from a background similar to mine. 

Wondering why, %user.name_f%? 

Because it was easier. 

It was easier to hear from them. To relate to them. To respond to them. 

But I also understood - at least at some level - that having diverse teams was the "right" thing to do. 

So I changed my approach. 

I actively tried to hear from those I might not have called on before. I did it to show my support for marginalised groups. 

But my intention was misguided. 

Now I understand that having greater diversity in a room adds value for everyone in that room. 

I changed my intention. 

I changed my mindset. 

And my ability to facilitate groups improved enormously.

I am thrilled to announce that Roxy Manning is hosting a new course, Equitable Facilitation: Supporting Equity through Leadership, starting on Wednesday September 13, 2023, 9am Pacific (California) Time.  

In this 4-week course, Roxy will explore some of the essential components of facilitation, including: 

• care for all of the people in the room  
• adopt a ‘power-with’ approach
• identify who needs to be in the room 
• ensure all voices are heard
• grow your capacity to name and address power dynamics
• increase your awareness of unconscious bias that impact group members’ experiences

It's called Equitable Facilitation: Supporting Equity through Leadership. Learn more in the video below.

Get 20% off if you register before Wednesday August 25, 2023 (and an extra 20% for NVC Library members). That's just two days away!

I love this new course for anyone who finds themselves in a facilitator role, either intentionally, or unintentionally. 

That might be those leading meetings at work, NVC group leaders, diversity and Inclusion professionals, corporate leaders, parents and teachers. 

Roxy's course is different from most facilitation courses because it is specifically designed to address equity issues that often come up in groups. 

Roxy is an Afro-Caribbean immigrant to the USA. The wisdom she will share in this course comes from being on the receiving end of many non-equitable experiences through her life.
