OUCH! Learning Objectives:

-- Identify the most common reasons people sit silent in the face of bias and stereotypes
-- Enhance skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt

What does OUCH! do?
In a unique and powerful way, viewers will 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.

Why is OUCH! important?
Staying silent in the face of demeaning comments, stereotypes or bias allows these attitudes and behaviors to thrive. This undermines our ability to create an inclusive workplace where all employees are welcomed, treated with respect and able to do their best work. Yet, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don’t know how. So, we say nothing.

Give your associates the confidence and skills to speak up when they hear stereotypes or other demeaning comments. OUCH! will help you and your associates be more effective communicators in today’s diverse business environment.

The simple act of naming a bias as such or objecting to it on the spot establishes a social atmosphere that discourages it: saying nothing serves to condone it.
