Privilege Walk

Enroll your team today

Workshop Overview

Privilege isn’t necessarily a reflection of you as much as it is the assumptions of others about you and what you are capable of. This interactive learning activity is designed to create stronger, more cohesive teams by helping you and your colleagues break through assumptions and better understand each other. Held virtually or in person, the privilege walk demonstrates how individuals experience privilege based on a variety of factors including socioeconomic status, membership in an underrepresented group, family upbringing, and more. One of our DEI practitioners will guide you through a discussion about the many types of privilege, invite your team to share their experiences, and highlight ways to use your privilege for good.

Key Takeaways

We can help you reach a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages that have shaped your life, and the lives of your colleagues. You will leave the session empowered to interact with more empathy and kindness in the workplace and beyond. During this event, we will:

  • Define privilege and set the stage for an inclusive experience
  • Ask participants to reflect on a series of statements around privilege
  • Facilitate a panel discussion about the concept of privilege, challenges and obstacles, and most importantly, how privilege can be leveraged for good. 
  • Facilitate the audience through small group discussion and reflection 
  • Guide audience through next steps (focused on action)

Designed for You and Your Team

At TDM, we firmly believe in the power of collective growth. Our courses and workshops are meticulously designed to foster a cohesive, transformative learning experience that taps into the unique dynamics of team environments. This approach ensures that skills learned are not only individual achievements but also become deeply embedded in the team’s DNA, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout your organization.

Here’s why our team-based approach stands out:

  • Unified Learning: When an entire team learns together, they share a common language, set of tools, and experiences. This ensures smoother implementation of new strategies and insights within the organization.
  • Strengthened Bonds: Shared learning experiences foster deeper connections, mutual understanding, and trust among team members.
  • Tailored Experiences: Our workshops and courses can be customized to address specific team dynamics, challenges, and goals, ensuring the most relevant and impactful learning journey.
  • Sustained Impact: A team that learns together supports each other in the application of new knowledge, ensuring long-term retention and continuous improvement.

We have implemented several impactful DEI trainings, including the Virtual Privilege Walks, Maximizing the Impact of ERGs workshop, Understanding Neurodiversity workshop, and the 4-part Workplace Communication sessions. Each was tailored to address specific aspects of inclusivity and diversity within our organization. Specifically, with Inclusive Communications, after the training, we observed a noticeable improvement in workplace interactions. Employees have become more mindful of their language, ensuring that their communication is inclusive and considerate of diverse perspectives and backgrounds. This shift has fostered a more collaborative and supportive work environment, enhancing overall team dynamics.
