Like sarcasm or passive aggressive language, microaggressions are woven into the fabric of how we communicate consciously, and unconsciously, in and out of the workplace and yoga studio. We witness it in media where it’s okay to be bias of others. We grow up with unconscious bias’s and inherit language learned from our families, schools, and communities that can cause unintentional and intentional harm.
Microaggressions wreak havoc on our personal relationships and professional performance; dampening productivity and affecting the bottom line of our organizations; impacting financial success.
Join Oakland-based trainer, Fresh “Lev” White for a special 3 hour workhop on how to dismantle microaggressions in both our work and practices.
