THE PROPEL / FDP GLOBAL PRESENTS

White Men as Full Diversity Partners

This 3.5 day Lab from the Propel Inclusive Leaders, Teams, and Organizations program is a provocative and powerful experience that has fundamentally transformed partnerships for those who have attended. The intent of the Lab is to create safe and meaningful dialogues,

where everyone realizes their self-interest in being full partners in diversity change efforts. The Lab focuses on building self-knowledge and understanding, which leads to personal and professional action. Participants leave ready to take action and to deepen their diversity learning journeys.

Participants are empowered to:

  • Examine how systemic racism, sexism, heterosexism and classism operate as systemic advantage in their work, community and personal life

  • Become more conscious of how their own behavior may unintentionally reinforce those unproductive dynamics

  • Identify new options for interrupting systemic advantage and for being a more effective partner across difference

  • Explore a deeper understanding of U.S. white male culture and its impact on all people — white men, white women and people of color

  • Teams work across the divides of ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race and sexual orientation to develop partnership skills that deepen diversity dialogues and impact organizational change
