UNC Kenan-Flagler's DEI Office invites all staff and faculty to join us for a series of workshops with mental health activist, author, and educator Myisha T Hill.

This series will offer an opportunity for self-reflection and skill building necessary to be better communicate, collaborate, lead, and design systems that truly support innovation and collective progress.
Myisha and her team will be offering skills that will align with our new core values and help support us personally and as a community here at the Business School.

The series will be 3 sessions, each session addressing 2 of the skills from their Community Care framework.
Sessions will be 90 minutes, delivered virtually, and will run from March to April 2023 from 10 am-11:30 am est.  Please register for each session you’d like to attend.

In these sessions you can expect to learn:

- Use these practices to tap into more nuanced and rich ways of knowing about ourselves and the world.
 
2. Slowing Down
- Practice self awareness and slowing down to deepen the two self-awareness practices (body scan and journaling) to create greater space between stimulus and response.

- Learn at least 2 somatic and cognitive mindsets and skillsets for identifying and sharing boundaries and creating space for others to do so as well.

4.  Respectful Disagreement
- Building upon the previous 4 modules, learn at least 2 somatic and cognitive mindsets and skillsets for identifying, self-managing, and supporting self and others to have respectful disagreement.

5.  Embracing Imperfection

- Integrate and apply the attitude of imperfection to mindset and toolsets from all 5 modules holistically to personal challenges.

6.  Sitting With Discomfort
- Recognize how one's own and others' reactions to discomfort can disrupt a community of care.
