This customisable inclusion training programme, led by Vivian Acquah, certified inclusion strategist & CQ facilitator, gives participants the knowledge, tools, and confidence to facilitate meaningful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) conversations in their own workplaces. Whether you are building an internal team of DEI champions, inclusion changemakers, boosting employee resource group members, developing your leadership pipeline, or simply looking to create a more inclusive culture, this programme meets you where you are and grows with you. ### Who Is This Programme For? This programme is designed for anyone who wants to take an active role in building inclusion within their organisation. It is particularly well suited for: - **HR professionals and people managers** who want to embed inclusion into everyday practice - **DEI champions and employee resource group leads** who facilitate conversations and learning sessions - **Team leaders and senior managers** who want to model inclusive behaviour and lead with cultural intelligence - **Learning and development professionals** looking to expand their facilitation toolkit - **Organisations of any size** that want to grow internal DEI capability rather than rely solely on external support You do not need to be an expert to join this programme. You just need the willingness to learn and the commitment to make a difference. ### What the Programme Includes The programme is fully customisable to fit your organisation's context, goals, and team. Depending on your needs, it can include any combination of the following: **Inclusive Facilitation Training** Participants learn how to host courageous conversations with care and confidence. This covers how to manage group dynamics, create psychological safety in a room, handle challenging topics, and keep discussions productive and respectful. Facilitation is a skill — and this programme builds it step by step. **Inclusion Training Sessions** Each session gives participants a deep understanding of a specific inclusion topic, along with practical strategies and tools they can use to deliver their own training effectively. Sessions are grounded in real-world application, not just theory. **Fireside Chats** Structured, informal conversations that bring people together to explore inclusion topics openly. These sessions create space for honest dialogue and help build trust across teams and levels. **Facilitated Sessions Using the Amplify DEI Cards** The [Amplify DEI cards](https://amplifydei.com/dei-cards/) are a powerful tool for sparking conversation and deepening understanding. The participants will facilitate sessions using these cards to help teams engage with inclusion themes in an accessible, human way. ### Inclusion Topics The programme covers a range of inclusion topics. Sessions can focus on one area in depth or combine several themes depending on your learning goals. Topics include: - **Inclusive Leadership** — how leaders can create environments where everyone feels valued and heard - **Mitigating Unconscious Bias** — understanding how bias shows up and practical steps to reduce its impact - **Deactivating Microaggressions** — recognising subtle harmful behaviours and learning how to respond and prevent them - **Intersectionality** — understanding how overlapping identities shape people's experiences at work - **Inclusive Hiring** — building fairer recruitment processes that attract and retain diverse talent - **Neurodiversity** — creating workplaces that work for people who think and process differently - **Psychological Safety** — building trust so people feel safe to speak up, take risks, and be themselves - **Inclusive Language** — choosing words that include rather than exclude, and understanding why language matters - **Cultural Intelligence (CQ)** — developing the awareness and skills to work effectively across different cultures Each topic is explored with honesty, nuance, and practical application at its core. ### Learning Outcomes #### For Participants By the end of the programme, participants will be able to: - Facilitate inclusion conversations with confidence and cultural sensitivity - Manage diverse group dynamics and navigate challenging moments in a session - Apply practical facilitation techniques to a range of DEI topics - Use tools like the Amplify DEI cards to engage their teams meaningfully - Deliver inclusion training that is both evidence-informed and human-centred - Continue growing as inclusion advocates and facilitators beyond the programme #### #### For Leaders Leaders who take part in or support this programme will be able to: - Model inclusive behaviour and set the tone for their teams - Have more informed and courageous conversations about equity and belonging - Recognise and address bias, microaggressions, and exclusionary practices in their environment - Support their teams with greater cultural intelligence and emotional awareness - Translate DEI principles into everyday leadership decisions and team interactions - Champion inclusion as a business priority, not just a values statement #### #### For the Organisation Organisations that invest in this programme can expect to: - Build a growing community of skilled, confident internal DEI facilitators - Reduce dependency on external DEI support over time - Create a more consistent, shared language and understanding of inclusion across teams - Strengthen psychological safety, belonging, and engagement across the workforce - Improve inclusive hiring and retention practices at a structural level - Develop a measurable, long-term approach to DEI that is owned from within ### ### Let's Build Something Meaningful Together Every organisation's inclusion journey is different.
