Free Teleseminar on the 3 Biggest Diversity Mistakes

Posted on 18. Jan, 2009 by Wayne in General

Folks, one of the things we are going to do in 2009 is let you know about lots of learning you can find on your own, since odds are the nice lady in HR has no budget for training. Eventually I’ll have a spot on Crankymiddlemanager.com that will be a one-stop shop for CMM approved training opportunities like webinars, teleseminars like the one I’m going to tell you about, live events and more.

Until then, here’s an event you’ll want to know about. If your eyes roll when you hear “diversity” it means two things. 1) odds are you’re a white guy 2) your company hasn’t been doing things right, because this stuff matters.

Deep down inside, you know there’s a better way to “do” diversity in 2009. You know the old approach is broken. You know that if your organization truly wants to recruit and retain top talent of color, it needs to overhaul the way it thinks about race and diversity.

But exactly which changes should your organization make? And what can you do personally to help?

Good news: Carmen Van Kerckhove, president of diversity education firm New Demographic, will share with you exactly what you need to know on this FREE CALL happening on Wednesday, January 21, 2009…

“The 3 Biggest Diversity Blunders
Your Organization Could Be Making Right Now (And How to Avoid Them)”

Reserve your line for this FREE teleseminar now!

On this 60-minute call, you’ll learn:

* Why your colleagues are right to scoff at diversity training — it actually doesn’t work! I’ll show you why not, and let you know what does work instead.
* Why your organization’s executives should never proclaim that they’re colorblind and that they “just don’t notice race,” unless they want to offend a lot of their employees.
* The one thing your organization must avoid at all costs unless you wants its diversity efforts to fail spectacularly.

This free call is chock-full of specific information that will show you exactly why your organization hasn’t become the leader in diversity it wants to be. Then, Carmen will give you the resources to change that around so that you can help your organization gain a crucial competitive edge by recruiting and retaining top diverse talent.

Just Click this link and join up. Share it with your friends, colleagues or the nice lady (or guy, if you had a decent diversity program you’d know that, of course).

Look for more event announcements like this, and the launch of the Cranky Middle Manager Learning Center soon.
