WHAT’S COVERED IN THE
BUILD COMMUNITY BY BRIDGING WORKSHOP:
‘Bridging’ is a concept developed by the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley and is meant to be a solution to help fight the ‘breaking’ and the extreme polarization of opinion that we’re seeing today.
During times when we want to break away from people with differing opinions from our own, we need to learn to lean in to bridging behaviors to help us respect and embrace each other’s differences. In a polarized climate, leaders that practice and model bridging can help foster inclusive workplaces where all their team members can show up fully to the workplace.
In this workshop we’ll cover:
- What bridging is (and is not) – Bridging as a tool used not to negotiate, but to exercise curiosity
- A proven framework – How to bridge and use in polarizing conversations
- Scenario Practice – Scenarios to practice the Bridging framework
