Tab C — Project Approach A. Technical Approach and Interpretation of the Scope of Services: Our enclosed proposal details an inclusive City-wide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training program designed for City of Sanford employees at every level e.g. entry, management, and supervisors. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of diversity, our training will delve into ethnicity, religion, race, socioeconomic status, educational level, sexual orientation, identity, and expression, enhancing participants' understanding of society's rich tapestry. This approach is not only about imparting knowledge but also about fostering an organizational culture that values the depth and breadth of diversity inherent in the Sanford community. All Things Diverse LLC proposes a comprehensive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training program, meticulously crafted to meet the City of Sanford's vision for an inclusive workforce. Our Page 1 11 approach is to facilitate a city-wide educational initiative that comprehensively addresses DEI across all hierarchies within the municipal workforce from entry-level to executive leadership. Interpreting the scope of services required by the City of Sanford, our training program is structured to immerse employees in the multifaceted aspects of DEI. By exploring the dimensions of ethnicity, religion, race, socioeconomic status, educational background, sexual orientation, identity, and expression, we aim to elevate the collective understanding of diversity's role in fostering a harmonious work environment. This strategic educational endeavor aligns with Sanford's commitment to nurturing a workplace where every employee's unique background is acknowledged and valued, thereby enriching the community it serves. Our curriculum is designed to go beyond the theoretical aspects of DEI, encouraging a practical embrace of these principles through interactive learning experiences. By doing so, we expect to engender a cultural shift within the City's departments, one that resonates with the principles of inclusivity and equity core tenets of Sanford's mission for its community.

Proposed Innovative Concepts: ATD brings forward -thinking solutions to enhance the value and quality of our services: • A dynamic communication strategy to foster a sustained DEI dialogue. • A survey tool designed for inclusivity, with multilingual options and accessibility across various digital platforms. • Use of AlchemerTM for secure and efficient survey administration, ensuring high participation and accurate data collection. • Application of real-world scenarios specific to Sanford's history and community to ground the training in local relevance. • Development of a participant guide in electronic format, promoting eco -friendly practices and easy access to training materials. (see Tab F for example participant guide) Our project approach is rooted in a deep understanding of Sanford's historical context, including the significance of Goldsborough, Treyvon Martin, and the city's ongoing efforts to heal and progress from past racial tensions. We integrate this awareness into our training, ensuring that the City of Sanford's DEI program is not only current but also conscious of the past and future. F. Expanded Details About Our Proposed Project Approach Before conducting the course, we will provide a pre -survey, which will allow us to gauge the knowledge held by potential attendees surrounding DEI terminology and application. We will develop a survey tool to gauge the efficacy of our training and the progress of the initiative. A pre -survey will be conducted by us to gain an understanding of where most employees are on their journey in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We will design a post-test that will measure the understanding of concepts, retention of knowledge and implementation of changes in organizational culture based on knowledge learned during the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Training. The post -training assessment will mirror the pre -training survey, which allows for a longitudinal study, which measures changes in the target population at the individual level over time. Our survey methodology will be: • To design the survey, we will: develop pre -training survey questions that directly link to the stated objectives by the City for the training, as a starting point. We will provide our communication guide and template to serve as a basis for a comprehensive communication strategy. We can also provide personalization. Options in this step include passwords for those that require hard -copy (paper) survey completion; instructions for IT to ensure our emails are not diverted due to SPAM filters or network firewalls; program the survey in Spanish and English. • To administer the survey, we will: program and test the survey in AlchemerTM, our online survey platform. Send an email invitation with a secure survey link to Sanford employees and provide a Word file with paper invitations for those who do not have or use City email addresses. All employees will be able to access the survey through desktop computers, mobile devices, and Page 1 15 smartphones. Provide an email address for employees to contact us with technical problems. Monitor and report on response rates during the survey period, and answer employee technical questions via email. • To provide the results, we will: deliver a summary of the findings report that includes City of Sanford -wide summary scores. This summary will be easy to understand, interpret and communicate. All Things Diverse (ATD) will provide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training to the City of Sanford employees at all levels. Each training will be three hours in length, and require a computer, PowerPoint presentation (which we will develop), classroom, flipcharts, and screen to display presentation. Beginning with the key concepts/lexicon (building blocks) of diversity our expert trainers will walk attendees through the historical and contemporary understanding and value of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Dr. Tammy L. Hodo will develop the course content to include interactive activities, and the participant guide. Ms. Ada Hammond, Mrs. Amy Sherman, and Ms. Judith Leibowitz along with Dr. Hodo will train all 550 employees. The training modules will cover the many dimensions (terminology) of diversity from primary, such as age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and religion to secondary, such as leadership, communication, and work habits. DEI is more than black and white but includes other variables that make up the whole person such as marital status, educational level, etc. We will then proceed to discuss implicit bias, which is the reality that everyone has biases but is not necessarily aware of them. Discussing implicit bias, which is like unconscious bias but recognizes there are levels to bias, we will strategically show attendees the historical trajectory of how certain groups (e.g. Irish, Italian, Polish) gained inclusion and a sense of belonging in America. By learning the historical aspects of exclusion of certain groups, attendees can recognize how fluid the construct of race and gender have been in our nation. Training City of Sanford employees in terminology and practical knowledge of the value that DEI provides to the workforce will allow them to be effective leaders, employees, and stewards. Understanding the differences between interpersonal, institutional, and structural racism is also important. Being able to define and differentiate between equity and equality. Gaining insight into how different people experience things differently due to historical policies, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, education, etc. allows employees to see and gain respect for diversity. Attendees will gain an understanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as well as how implicit bias impacts our interactions with others. All attendees will gain an understanding of the value, scope, and norms of cultural competencies in the workplace. Employees should be able to bring their authentic self to work, which allows them to be more productive and flourish. Not only do employees need to bring their authentic self to work but to be successful in our multicultural global world employees must have the skillset to work and interact with people from a Page 1 16 wide variety of diverse backgrounds. Implicit bias can and does negatively impact certain groups (marginalized) in the workforce. Oftentimes the person saying or doing something hurtful is not even aware (unconscious) of the harm they have done to the recipient. Understanding the science behind implicit biases, uncovering our own biases, and developing mechanisms to recognize when we have committed a bias against another is the beginning to change. If the City of Sanford wants to attract and retain a diverse group of employees, they must begin to educate the masses about the relevance of DEI. Ideally, the workforce should mirror as closely as possible the community they serve. Too often leadership within organizations does not mirror the communities they serve, which can cause employees to question the value the organization puts on diversity. We will move from general concepts of diversity, such as recognizing that diversity is having a diverse group of people, inclusion is not only having the diverse people/outlooks/experiences but also having those diverse people in positions of authority. Inclusion is not only having a seat at the table but having the ability to provide input, which is then valued and considered as much as everyone else's at the table. Inclusion requires that we recognize that in the history of our country some people have been excluded e.g., women, people of color, different religions, etc. Recognizing the value each employee brings into the workplace is part of inclusion. Equity is about justness and fairness while equality is assuming we are all starting at the same vantage point, which is not the case in America due to past/current policies and practices. Continued training on DEI concepts and methods will allow attendees to understand how dynamic the DEI field continues to be. We will ensure that we provide numerous resources to employees to assist them with any questions they may have about DEI. We can take real world experiences within the City of Sanford and create different scenarios and walk attendees through handling the issues that may arise. Within three hours we will have opened lines of communication, discussed methods to have courageous conversations and exposed attendees to diverse concepts. We will provide attendees with the tools they need to be successful in the workplace and as they interact with people from different cultural backgrounds. After taking the training attendees will be able to: Understand the terminology within the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion field. Recognize the importance and relevance of diversity in the workplace. Connect personal experiences to situations that may result in a misunderstanding due to cultural misunderstandings. Discover ways to celebrate diversity. Learn ways to respect differences, understand differences and recognize stereotypes and prejudice. Understand the differences between diversity, equity, and inclusion. Page 1 17 -+ See value in promoting diversity and effectively managing a diverse group of employees, which increases productivity and a sense of belonging. -+ Understand that we all have bias. -+ Know how to recognize and mitigate bias. Participants will explore the value of multiculturalism within our society and understand the history of our Country as one of indigenous populations and immigrants. Understanding and using the correct lexicon (language) when speaking about the diversity of our country is imperative as it creates a greater understanding and respect for different cultures, sexual identities, and expressions. We often hear terms such as equality and equity used interchangeability, but they do not mean the same thing. We must begin by ensuring that we are all speaking the same language. To create an environment of inclusion requires us to address past issues of discrimination and harassment that have taken place within our Country e.g., housing covenants, Executive Order 10450 -which banned the hiring of those who identify in the LGBTQI community from working for the federal government, Chinese Exclusion Act, which was the first racialized discriminatory immigrant law, the three Women Rights Movements, with the third being the only one that has been inclusive of women of color and transwomen. Upon completing the training, we will provide all attendees with a certificate of completion within 14 days at their email address. Not only will attendees take a post survey to gauge if they retained the information taught in the course, but we will also provide the City with a link to an anonymous survey that employees will be able to provide feedback about the experience with the course content and instructor/trainer. As a global society it is imperative that we are culturally competent when working and engaging with people outside of our groups. America continues to be hyper -segregated based on race, which is a social construct, but has real world implications as it continues to impact life changes and experiences. Due to the neighborhood school model many children today are attending schools that are more racially segregated than their parents. America has a variety of cultures, customs, and traditions because we are a nation of immigrants excluding the indigenous population, which was here before Europeans arrived. Cultural Relativism is examining a culture through the lens of that culture, while Ethnocentrism is measuring and judging other cultures and customs based on one's own. We want everyone to display cultural relativism when looking at other cultures/groups that they do not belong to as it helps people to understand or appreciate the differences that cultures bring into society and the workplace. When working in large organizations we have people who have different lived experiences and perspectives which can cause conflict when working with others outside of one's culture. We must learn to meet people where they are and understand that just because someone's culture or customs are different from our own does not make them dysfunctional or wrong. The public sector of the city is important to recognize and be cognizant of due to the different working parts that interact to make the City function. As we go about our work, we are aware that we will be dealing with people in a variety of positions that engage with the public in different ways, but the most important aspect is for people to be culturally competent when engaging with people who they may not Page 1 18 typically engage with day-to-day basis. Diversity in the workplace is imperative as we live in a global society and engage with people outside of "our group" often. Studies continuously show that a diverse workforce outperforms others, decisions are made faster, less meetings are necessary and productivity increases. Studies show that 67% of job applicants look at the diversity of an organization when considering employee opportunities'. In an article published by Harvard Business Review the authors found that women control $20 trillion in spending power in 20092. We can safely estimate that women's spending power has increased since 2009. Participants will gain tools such as strategies to assist them in recognizing their implicit/unconscious behavior towards others and steps to reduce bias such as stereotype replacement, which helps participants develop ways to recognize when they have stereotyped someone based on variables beyond their control. Increased interaction and engagement with people outside of "one's" group will assist with decreasing biases and discrimination. As part of this contract, we understand that we should be available for one year of support services. While working with the City of Tampa Human Resources they developed a workbook that contains the slides and activities we conduct during our training sessions. We can develop an similar electronic participant guide for all attendees to assist them in following along with the course. The participant guide will be electronically provided to attendees via our partnership with Human Resources. We understand there is a long history of racial issues in Sanford, beginning with the absorption of several black communities to include Goldsborough, which was incorporated in 1891. As one of the earliest black towns in the state of Florida, Goldsborough was a significant and safe place for African Americans within 26 years after the end of the Civil War and at the beginning of the Black Code laws (Jim Crow). With the murder of Treyvon Martin in 2012 and the subsequent acquittal of George Zimmerman, racial tensions continue to be high. ' Bush, M.

Two key factors are your class code and your rate. A class code is a standardized way to describe your employees' jobs. We do this because each type of job has inherently different risks. The class code determines the rate, which is the amount you pay for every $100 of your payroll. We multiply that rate by your premium basis. That's your best guess at the total amount you'll pay those employees during the policy year. At the end of the year, we'll review your premium basis together to make sure it was correct. This is called a "premium audit-" (See "How we calculate your final premium" for more information about this.) Your premium calculations also include payroll -based factors. These include, but are not limited to, state surcharges, catastrophe, minimum premium, experience modification, and terrorism. You'll find a breakdown of these and other charges beginning on the following pages.

MS Page 1 68 The City of Tampa is dedicated to enhancing our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across the workforce. The Inclusive Cultural Training program covers a broad spectrum of categories including age, race, gender, ethnicity, national origin, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, generations, work style, communication style, implicit bias, cross-cultural competency and differing perspectives. We are committed to promoting inclusion and belonging, and creating a work environment where everyone feels respected, valued and supported in reaching their full potential. Learning Objectives • Understand the difference between race and ethnicity • Gain insight into sex versus identity • Review historical state and federal policies and practices • Discuss generational differences and how diversity creates innovation • Explore differences in communication styles • Define microaggressions, microinequities, and microinvalidations • Recognize that we all have bias • Learn to mitigate biases and disrupt them in a positive manner. SECTIONS MODULE 1 - COMMON DEI TERMINOLOGY MODULE 2 - NEED FOR DIVERSITY OF ALL TYPES MODULE 3 - MICROAGGRESSIONS AND HOW TO CORRECT THEM MODULE 4 - IMPLICIT BIASES IN THE WORKPLACE Page 1 70 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are often used interchangeably and whiie similar, they have unique qualities and differences. When you speak about anything surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion, it's best to use the correct terminology. Use this simple process to define terms. 1. Learn about the concept Reflect and consider how it applies Look for ways to put the concept into practice. Diversity We must recognize diversity in all its forms. People are different with varied perspectives and life experiences. Some variables that impact diversity are ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual identity, orientation, religion, race, age, ability, perspective, national origin —as well as hair color, eye color, where people were raised, and so forth. Many people in Florida migrated here from somewhere else and brought with them their customs, culture, and ideas. Diversity exists in disabilities but are not always observable. Everything doesn't present as it is and it's importantthatwe treat everyone the same. Equity and Equality: Are they the same'? We probably have heard these words being used interchangeability, but they are not the same. Equity is recognizing the qualities of justness, fairness, impartiality. We must treat people according to their circumstances, which often has to do with historical as well as contemporary policies and practices. Executive Order 10450 banned gay men and lesbians from working for any agency of the federal government; housing covenants prevented minority service members from being able to buy houses. Japanese - Americans were thrown into internment camps, and women were not able to get credit without the approval of their husband until the 70s in some states, etc. iQ iQ EQUALITY EQUITY Page I Page 1 71 Inclusion • Racial formation -a historical process by which Inclusion is more than having a seat at the table. It racial categories are created, inhabited, is being heard, and contributions considered. It is transformed, destroyed and replaced. It is used the sense of belonging where individuals are as a means of distinguishing one group from respected and valued. Too often those on the another, but more importantly as a means of margins are an afterthought or belong to an affinity control. group. Race vs. Ethnicity --9 F� � � moi` �� Race is a social construct reserved for categories of humankind. It is more generally focused on categorizing seemingly distinct populations or minorities that have obvious and physical differences, such as African Americans/Blacks; Native Americans; Japanese Americans; Chinese Americans, Arab Americans; Filipinos; Hawaiians, and others. The construct of race is dynamic and it changes with the political climate. Ethnicity is represented by cultural expression and identification such as customs, language, food. Examples include Hispanics, Latinx, which in turn includes Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans. Ethnicity includes White ethnic groups too such as Irish Americans, Polish Americans, and Norwegian Americans. We are all ethnic beings. Race is not real as there is no biological difference The Social Construct of Race • Race -is a social construct. It has power because of the social meaning people place on it. • Racism -is a doctrine of racial supremacy that sees one race as superior to another. Due to the social construction of race, we have seen people who were not seen as part of the dominant group being ostracized. Some European ethnic groups such as Polish, Irish, and Italian were not welcome when they initially came to America. Issues arose out of those historically oppressed sometimes becoming the oppressor of others due to the social construct of race. Privilege Behind every privilege is an imbalance. It's invisible to those who possess it and ever-present for those who don't. Privilege is a benefit that belongs to people because they fit into a specific social group or have certain dimensions to their identity. You can have (or lack) privilege because of your race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, religion, wealth, and class, among many other characteristics. Having privilege means having an advantage that is out of your control and that you didn't ask for. You may not even notice it until you educate yourself about its existence. Privilege and the lack of privilege are often how power is distributed. Ultimately, privilege is not a concept designed to make people feel guilty or to diminish their achievements. Instead, waking up to how you may have certain privileges is an essential first step towards being able to decisively act, in small and large ways, to use your privilege and make the systems we were born into fairer. https://www. hivelearning.com/site/resource/d iversity-inclusion/are- you-privileged/ Page 6 Page 1 72 Terms and Meaning ■ Prejudice is a negative attitude toward an entire category of people.

Wage I Page 1 73 Cultural relativism vs. Ethnocentrism Institutional Racism Cultural relativism is viewing other cultures through the lens of that culture and respecting the differences in a non- judgmental way. Ethnocentrism is making judgments about other societies or groups based off one's cultural bias and/or beliefs. In simple terms it is using your own culture as a frame of reference to judge other cultures, practices and behaviors. The World needs all types of Diversity. there are a lot of variables that make us diverse, even things such as when we were raised (1940s vs. 1990), location of upbringing (Midwest, south, etc.), physical and cognitive abilities, political affiliation, etc. These are just a few examples that often appear to be more obvious than others. Historically we have had different policies that have negatively impacted certain groups such as • Our Indigenous Population - Boarding schools used to strip our indigenous population of their culture, customs and language. • Immigration Policies - National Origins Act in 1924 establishing a quota system to limit the number of immigrants entering the United States, especially from certain countries and typically those that are perceived to have people that don't appear as the dominant Eurocentric group. • Women's Fight for Rights - Women were/are not considered equal and continue to struggle in some workplaces due to discriminatory behavior and antiquated ideas about what women should and shouldn't be doing. ■ Housing Covenants and Redlining - federal government policies that hindered some groups from being able to purchase homes with their GI Bill due to the social construct of race and, oftentimes, religion. ■ Executive Order 10450 signed by President Eisenhower banning homosexuals from working for the federal government or any of its private contractors. Protected Classes Groups of people who are legally protected from being harmed or harassed by laws, practices, and policies that discriminate against them due to a shared characteristic. The City of Tampa outlines policies and protections around protected classes and can be found in the Personnel Manual, 131.1 and B1.2 (on iNet). It is the responsibility of each employee to understand these sections and know where to find them. Page Page 1 74 Communication Differences The five communication styles discussed in this course are assertive, aggressive, passive, passive- aggressive and manipulative. Assertive Assertive: Honest, direct, self-confident, respectful, non -blaming, clear, positive Aggressive Shouting, yelling, demanding, commanding, blaming, critical, hostile, verbally abusive Passive Communication -emotionally dishonest, indirect, inhibited, self-denying Passive — Aggressive Self enhancing at the expense of others, emotionally dishonest, self-denying at first, evasive techniques, denial, distortion, silence. Manipulative The desire to get things to happen the way we want them to. Is a way to exploit, deceive, blame, exaggerate, and influence others to do things a certain way. It is the ultimate dysfunctional way to communication. Microaggressions Microaggressions happen daily and come in the form of verbal and non-verbal attacks that are demeaning to the receiver, although the person saying or doing the act may not view it that way. It's been described as a thousand little jabs. Microaggression Examples Statements Possible Interpretations �+ Feminine traits are undesirable. r• You don't belong. ! You are not American. People of your background are unintelligent. You are not man/woman enough. Saying this to a transgender person is hurtful and disrespectful its as if you are saying they are not truly how they identify. Microaggressions are hurtful and impact the receiver, although the person speaking may think they are giving the person a compliment, that is not how the receiver of the message views the statement. page Page 1 75 There are many aspects of bias to include micro -inequities, micro -invalidations, micro -assaults and microaggressions. The four major units of socialization are family, peers, the media and school. This is how we develop biases, which go hand in hand with microaggressions and all other aspects of micro issues (assaults, inequities, invalidation). Micro -inequities A few examples of micro -inequities are: ■ Constantly mispronouncing someone's name ■ Interrupting, talking over, or ignoring women, people with disabilities, people of color, LG BTQ+, etc.. ■ Calling women "honey", "baby", "sweetheart", etc. ■ Assigning tasks according to stereotyped roles (e.g., women as note -takers) ■ Asking someone "Where are you really from?" ■ Confusing someone's ethnicity for another with a dismissive attitude Ways to combat microinequities in the workplace can include: ■ Being more aware of one's actions and/or words ■ Recognizing your unconscious biases - Take the Implicit Association Test ■ Working together on teams as equals, in pursuit of common goal ■ Treating everyone as individuals rather than as members of groups ■ Acknowledging microinequities when they happen ■ Avoiding the Bystander Effect - Speak Up! Microinvalidation Microinvalidation is attempting to invalidate the experiences of others. We frequently see this take place and itshows a lack of empathy and understanding of different historical truths about the experiences of some groups. We all have different lived experiences, and we should not try to force our narrative upon others or use comments that negate or nullify the feelings, experiences and thoughts of people of color such as: • "We are all human beings" • "Don't be so oversensitive" • "I grew up low-income and I was able to pull myself up by my bootstraps" • Mistaking the identity of people of the same race • Staying silent when something should be addressed • Saying "I don't see color." (It can be difficult for others to process such a statement as logical. If you strip skin color from a person, you essentially omit from that person a major part of their identity, their family, culture and heritage. By "not seeing color, " you aren't seeing the person, let alone the person as a whole,) Remember, every employee within the City of Tampa has the responsibility of knowing and understanding City policies regarding discrimination and harassment. (Personnel Manuel B1.1, and B1.2.). When you see something take place, we hope that you will notify your supervisor. Pagr_' I Page 1 76 Implicit bias If you are human, you have biases. Bias is natural because our mind seeks ways to deal with all the stimuli we are exposed to, so our brain takes shortcuts. Our brain places people, places and things into categories as a shortcut. This worked well in hunting and gathering societies as we needed to know who friend or foe was, but it doesn't serve us well now because we often rely on over simplified stereotypes about groups that are not accurate. Everyone, to include those in marginalized communities, possesses implicit biases, as it is pervasive, but we must learn to recognize how it can affect our interactions, decisions and responses. Implicit bias influences our interactions and attitudes towards those in the "out group" without us even recognizing or being cognizant of it. The associations/generalizations we have developed throughout our lives cause us to have beliefs/ideals about other people/groups based on characteristics outside of their control such as race, ethnicity, age, sexuality, etc. In-group and out-group associations impact our biases. 1% A rnmIgrant i PrfvyE"9c-ci I Explicit • Bias Expressed directly Expressed Indirectly Aware of Bias Unaware of Bias Operates Consciously Operates Unconsciously E.g., Sign in the window of an apartment building—"We don't rent to E.g., A property manager doing more criminal background checks on African Americans than on whites. Page 1 10 Page 1 77 10 Typical Types of Workplace Biases Halo Focusing on a person's one particularly great feature and viewing everything about the person in a positive way Perception Forming assumptions or stereotypes about particular groups making it difficult to be objective about members of that group Group Think Trying to fit into a particular group by mimicking their behaviors or holding back or sharing thoughts and opinions out of fear of potential exclusion. Like an anchor weighing us down, we are fearful to deviate from what others are thinking or doing for fear of becoming an outsider. Cultural Stereotyping an individual based on their country, state or region without looking into their skills or performance levels PPrformancP Judging those in the dominant or "in-group" on potential, while those in the out-group are judged on performance Counteracting Bias Horns Generalizing one's negative aspects to their over-all performance Cnnfirmatinn Seeing information that confirms pre-existing beliefs, assumptions or conversely discounting information that is incongruent with one's suppositions Gender Treating men and women different in areas such as expectations, recruiting, promotions, and/or compensation. Seeing women in particular position such as executive assistances, nurses, teachers, etc. While seeing men in position such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. Beaut Judging people favorably or harshly based on their physical appearance Similarity Selecting people and/or gravitating toward people who are most similar to us ■ Be aware of possible biases you may have and the situations in which you tend to exhibit them • Be aware of possible biases you may make about someone in a group that is different from your own ■ Consider strategies your team can adopt for reducing implicit bias and discrimination generally ■ Interact with people who don't have the same political views, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and/or religion Nage I , Page 1 78 The three-step process to counteracting bias behavior Manage your feelings of defensiveness and avoiding reacting with "but, I didn't mean it that way!" Listen intently to what happened and reflect on what you heard. Try to understand from their vantage point. Take responsibility and try to do it differently next time. This is about civility and manners; not political correctness. Diversity Profile -Activity The objective of this Diversity Profile Activity is to help you take stock of the multicultural diversity in your life. It should help you get a clear picture of how diverse or homogenous your surroundings are and assist you in identifying ways to improve your exposure to multiculturalism on a daily basis. This matrix can tell you a lot about your surroundings. Think about who you engage with the most. People typically are comfortable with those who resemble them, but we must engage with others as we are a multicultural society. How much fuller would our lives be if we learned more about other people, customs, cultures, languages, etc.? What life experiences are we missing out on?
