Speaking up for respect
Two complete training programs, fully developed and ready to use
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 people who want to speak up don't know how..... so they say nothing.
This training program can help give your people the tools to speak up - without blame.- OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts can be used in any organization
or group of people desiring to build and sustain a respectful
and inclusive environment. This DVD/Video-based training
program helps people build the confidence and skills to
speak up when they hear stereotypes or other demeaning
comments. Potential uses for OUCH! include training in
the areas of:
Teamwork, Communication, Diversity and Inclusion, Coaching and Mentoring, Leadership Development
Here's a flavor of what you'll see on the
video:
|
She said to me, "Wow,
you really have no accent for an Asian person. I
didn’t know how to respond to this so I just
said 'thanks.'" |
|
When I hear these jokes I laugh, but inside I'm really hurting. |
|
He
ended the review by saying, “I think you’ve
done really well, considering the hand you’ve
been dealt.” I didn’t know how to respond
to something like that. |
 |
I
want to say something; but I don’t speak up
because I don’t know how. |

- Ouch! Your Silence Hurts
Many people say they want to speak up when they see others stereotyped, disrespected, or demeaned. But they stand by silently because of discomfort or the fear of saying the wrong thing. The silent bystander actually has the most power to make a difference. But the bystander has to speak up, they have to say something. Ouch is the easiest thing to say and it works!
The Ouch! Your Silence Hurts training program is designed to be flexible. It can be used as a stand-alone workshop or incorporated into a broad range of development programs, such as:
Teamwork, Communication, Coaching and Mentoring, Diversity and Inclusion, Change Agent Skills, Leadership Development, Bullying Prevention
Here's a flavor of what you'll see on the video:
|
When I heard that I wasn't considered for promotion because of my so-called "image" I was pretty angry... |
|
Why
didn't you say something? I feel like I don't belong
here. |
|
I
would say something if I felt comfortable in the
group. |
 |
Speak
up because your silence might mean you agree. |

all the information necessary to lead Ouch! Your Silence Hurts

includes a Skill-Builder activity. The script is given for your
convenience. Feel free to create your own workshop by writing a
different narration. Some tips are also given for delving deeper
into the Skill-Builder module, which would lengthen the workshop

also included.
Participant Materials: A six-page Participant Handout
is provided for your use. If you are leading the 60-minute workshop,
use the full six pages. For the 30-minute session, only one page
is needed (Key Concepts / Discussion). For flexibility, handout pages
are not numbered. The handout is a color document but can be printed
in either color or black & white.
Feel free to create your own handouts as well.
PowerPoint: Two PowerPoint presentations
are included – for the 30-minute session and the 60-minute workshop.
There is also a pre-formatted Master Slide that you can use to create
additional slides of your own. Slides may be hidden or un-hidden

TESTIMONIAL: The Anti-Defamation League's
A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute,
a market leader in the development and delivery of anti-bias and diversity
training and resources used by schools, universities, businesses, community
organizations and law enforcement agencies throughout the United States
and abroad, has been actively using the OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts video
with remarkable success. Not only is it being successfully utilized with
our A WORKPLACE OF DIFFERENCE™

have been benefitting from the OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts strategies
demonstrated in the video as well. OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts enables
participants to heighten their awareness of bias and prejudice, allowing
them to explore the broad range of stereotypes that are part of everyday
conversation and their impact on the work environment. The six OUCH!
How to Speak Up Against Stereotypes Strategies have been effective learning
tools to increase participants' skills and provide the motivation to
challenge such statements effectively. Thank you for allowing us to add
this valuable video resource to our repertoire of activities.
