The Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives (DI3) has partnered with Inheritance Project to host a special interactive workshop to learn inclusive leadership skills, strengthen the community and offer a transformative process of self-inquiry.
“Unpack Your Inheritance” teaches inclusive leadership skills through the lens of inheritance. It is an immersive virtual experience that invites participants to explore, unpack and exchange stories about their inheritance — defined as more than physical items passed from one generation to the next, but the accumulation of unique lived experiences that shape the individual.
This is a special opportunity for Stony Brook University’s community of colleagues, leaders and students to connect on a human level, care for the culture with intention and level up leadership skills at the same time.
In this interactive, multi-sensory workshop, participants will cultivate self-awareness, build trust and develop a greater capacity to connect with those who are different. By becoming aware of our own inheritance and identity, we begin to understand others on a deeper level. Through this guided exploration, participants will become empowered to lead with empathy, bridge divides and collaborate more effectively with diverse groups.
Workshop participants will receive:
- Six practical inclusive leadership tools you can start using immediately to help build trust, inclusivity and a culture of belonging with any group
- A simple framework to have productive conversations about inclusion and identity at work
- A deeper understanding of yourself and how your identity shapes how you lead, think, collaborate and communicate
- A unique opportunity to connect with your work community and learn one another’s real stories
- Greater confidence to engage in conversations about diversity, inclusion and identity at work
Register online for scheduled faculty and staff sessions. Up to 25 people can register for each session.
