Virtual Peer Group Session

Together we can raise the cultural standards of dignity within the workplace and at home, and contribute to the movement to shift institutionalized economic, gender, and racial injustices globally.

COVID-19 has thrown most of the world population into turmoil on every front, disproportionately affecting women and BIPOC populations. It has revealed the many broken systems and institutionalized injustices like never before, and has threatened the livelihood of countless small businesses. More and more people are demanding humanity and raising their voices to affect change.

Our program offers simple tools for using our words more effectively, to make better promises and requests. These educational and training programs help people build stronger relationships and have more positive influence at work, at home, and in their community.

“Without the shared language and understanding of dignity….We will continue to act instinctively in the service of self-preservation when we experience a threat to our dignity."

Donna Hicks, Leading with Dignity

This is something that I have always struggled with, so it was great to learn from others and hear valuable insight, stories and strategies I can use to foster my self-worth and ability to communicate effectively."
