Effective Engagement: A Look at Implicit Bias to Ignite Positive Conversations for an Inclusive Workplace
Please join us January 13 for an interactive and engaging session with Esther Triggs, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Interlochen Center for the Arts.
Esther, born in Western Michigan, returned after twenty years of working in New York City to settle at Interlochen. She continues to work utilizing the four pillars of DEI: Education, Vulnerability, Transparency, and Accountability to move toward Transformation. She welcomes you to delve into an interactive workshop on dismantling implicit bias while having necessary conversations. Through engaging dialogue, reflection, and taking meaningful actions, attendees are empowered with tools to navigate and engage in necessary and sometimes challenging conversations.
Esther is an alumnus of Cornell's Diversity and Inclusion certificate program and a graduate of CUNY SPS' master of arts in Applied Theatre program. Her unique experience in both theatrical and corporate settings allows her to bridge gaps in facilitating conversations which leads to empowerment of individuals and groups toward equitable solutions. She supports organizations in understanding the perceptual, institutional, and psychological processes that impact the bottom line of an organization and how we, in the community, interact with each other and create a culturally competent workplace.
