 Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts
Demeaning comments, stereotypes and bias have no place in today's organizations, yet few people have the
courage to speak out against these attitudes and behaviors. What do you do if someone you care about is the
target of demeaning stereotypes? What if you are being demeaned or stereotyped? How often do you speak
up on behalf of respect? Nevertheless, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don't know how...
so they say nothing.

In a unique and powerful way, this course allows viewers to experience the impact of stereotypical
comments, explore why people don't speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors, and learn six
techniques for speaking up without blame or guilt.

 Become aware of the impact of stereotyping others
 Identify reasons people sit silent in the face of disrespect
 Enhance skills for speaking up against stereotypes
