Consulting
“ ‘Be open to the unexpected’ might well be the motto for what can be experienced and learned through a Just Collaboration workshop. Members of Staten Island’s creative community are grateful to have had the chance to learn how to break out of well-worn paths of communication, collaboration, and engagement and think more expansively and unconventionally. Thank you to Mary for encouraging us to play, have fun, and be open!”

IMPACT OF RACE AND IMPLICIT BIAS
What role does bias play in hiring, communication, and collaboration? How can we influence the stories we tell ourselves about others to clarify our own power and privilege? Together participants will address the role oppression plays in our decision-making process in producing workplace bias.
