"The stories shared in this course are both enlightening and inspiring – they make the concepts of JEDI come alive."

You want your workplace to reflect a culture of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI), but you’re not sure how to make it happen. It can feel overwhelming and confusing trying to navigate sensitive topics like race, gender, sexuality, and privilege.

 

Without proper knowledge and training on JEDI concepts and practices, there’s a high risk of making mistakes that could harm individuals or damage the overall company culture. Plus, with constantly evolving social norms and expectations around inclusion and equality, it’s hard to keep up without the right resources.

With our 14-session video program available on demand, you will gain a deeper understanding of JEDI concepts through storytelling exercises led by industry experts.
