Workshop Objective

Participants will learn to:

  • show up for each other by using the Ten Components of a Thinking Environment® to address or reduce race-based stress
  • practice listening to each other in Thinking Pairs

Methodology

The workshop will be facilitated online using teaching inputs and experiential exercises. The facilitators will reflect back a systemic understanding of the group, presence the 10 Components of Thinking Environment® and Thinking Pairs to enable generative listening and creating community.  

The design of an inter-racial facilitation pair is intentional to reflect diversity of race, facilitation style and personal attributes that adds to the supportive learning environment about diversity and difference.

*** After 4-weeks of practice of Thinking Pairs, participants are invited to a 1-hour online reflection of their learning.

 

About the Facilitators

Klaus Lombardozzi 
 
  My passion and skill are in facilitating creative and engaging relationship building processes in which people and organisations discover the full potential of their creative and intelligent essence. 
 
By honouring the diversity in people and by building strong relationships, my experience has shown me that organisations thrive in this fast-paced, pressured and complex world. 
 
My coaching approach enables people to get to know themselves better (EI) as well as relate better to others (SI) by developing the skills and competencies in working in teams. Everything we achieve is facilitated through the quality of relationships that we have with the people we work interdependently with. Relationship Systems Intelligence (RSI) builds on EI and SI to develop competent and engaging teams that harness the value of diversity to promote positivity, innovation and collaboration.  
 
In addition to my International Certification in Systems Team Coaching, I bring 20 years of leadership experience in which I have held several senior leadership positions and managed various complex projects and change initiatives in Europe and South Africa. 

The MPEG Diversity Committee fosters initiatives that promote the Editors Guild’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. The Committee provides diversity awareness, support, mentoring and networking opportunities for members without regard to race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and age. 

Active members of the Guild are invited to join the Facebook group: Diversity in Post
