DEI Leadership
Half-Day Workshop
and Just Cause: The Experience
Bring the power of collaborative engagement to your team through our unique immersive workshop experience.
Our unique program is tailored based on your audience, your desired engagement styles, and your objectives, in a convenient half-day workshop format.
Let’s dive in together.
The modern workplace requires a higher level of collaboration and engagement, separate yet interrelated concepts that can nurture healthy relationships and positive outcomes for your team.
Here’s how it works:
Phase 1 – The Case: Engaged team members feel valuable and included. We begin the workshop by inviting participants to serve as members of a jury in a riveting legal drama. We use the power of theater and storytelling to bring your team into a world where contentious issues are woven into the case, yet they’re willing to genuinely and actively listen to understand the truth.
Phase 2 – The Deliberation: The case ends with the judge instructing jurors with what they need to consider to reach a verdict. There is no “smoking gun” in the evidence leading to an easy decision—the jury must work together to decide the outcome. Our judge takes participants point-by-point through the elements of the case and the issues surrounding them, leading them as they work together toward a common goal of finding a verdict.
Phase 3 – The Discussion: Our expert facilitator brings the collaboration and engagement forward as they guide particpants through a custom-built discussion. We use techniques from Motivational Interviewing to help participants both as individuals and as a group to uncover and apply insights from the experience to their role and your shared objectives. These conversations continue to resonate in the days, weeks, and months ahead, reinforcing foundational relationships for a stronger team environment.
