 “What’s Your Inclusivity Quotient?”...
Removing the Barriers that Block Your Messages
Join national NSA president, Lenora Billings-Harris, CSP for this fun, interactive and non-judgmental session to help you enhance your inclusivity quotient so your soul and substance can be fully received by everyone in your audience.
NSAers used to ask, “Do I have to use humor?” The answer was, “Only if you want to get paid.” Now the same answer applies to the question, “Do I have to understand my group’s differences?” The answer is the same. Corporations and professional associations are investing millions of dollars each year to make their organizations more inclusive. They assume consultants and speakers already have the same sensitivities they do. During this highly interactive session you will discover how to honor and include your audience across ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, religion, and different abilities while maintaining your own authenticity. Lenora’s session is jam-packed with immediately applicable information and suggestions, including a multi-page handout and reference guide. She will help you uncover habits that unintentionally offend, and develop behaviors that include so you can enhance your impact on today’s audiences, and be invited back again and again.
By participating in this session, you will be able to:
Enhance your own multicultural competencies as a speaker.
Identify the training and presentation techniques that help learners feel respected and included.
Explore the most common multicultural barriers in the learning environment.
Explore ways to evaluate your current programs to identify possible oversights, and then utilize techniques and resources to address them.

Each round table discussion period will last for 30 minutes. The last 45 minutes will be wrap-up question & answer period of the “Pros” by all those in attendance.
