The Sensitivity Training webinar is designed for individuals who desire to improve their ability to build relationships in the context of gender and ethnic diversity. The content is tailored to your organization’s requirement. You can take the webinar and self-study course on the go by using an iPad or Android device.

We use a competency-based framework to define the skills, behaviors, and attitudes of people who honor professional boundaries. It is a 4-plus-1 model.

Four features of the framework are ideal behaviors and traits of an individual working in a team context. The additional competency is unique to your organizational context and role. It is a skill, behavior, or attitude that will help you to build and sustain healthy public and private relationships.

We recommend requiring attendees to take notes and provide a summary of their key learnings from each module as well as their personal action plan.
