ReCAST Training Opportunity


Culturally Responsive Supervision
This training is for Supervisors.

As our country exploded with a dual health and race pandemic, how were staff with various positional power within your organization supported to navigate a turbulent context? What are the expectations for employee performance and deliverables when one is dealing with personal, systemic, or societal trauma? In this session, we will discuss brain science on how the presence of the stress hormone cortisol- impacts one's cognitive functioning ability. We will then unpack supervision strategies to see a trauma shape impacting a staff member, name it with compassion versus pathology, and develop a plan for support and performance.
Session Objectives:
  • Discuss how de-centering DOMINANT CULTURE can make room for new gifts and strengths to emerge
  • Work to DISMANTLE beliefs about high-performing vs low-performing employees
  • Learn from the Be the Change Supervision for Equitable Employee Development FRAMEWORK
  • Make a plan to INTEGRATE culturally responsive techniques into our supervision.
July 18th 10:00-12:30PM PST

Virtual: Zoom
