More Diversity Training Needed In Workplaces

Here's a new article which shows definite proof that diversity training programs are needed in workplaces today. And if you don't think that diversity is needed in colleges and universities, think again. This article suggests that the earlier people learn to develop diversity skills, the better our future workplaces will be. See this article called Playing Catch Up Ball With Diversity. Toastmasters is also getting more diverse and I would think that diversity topics would fit right in with conference workshops.

Personal Improvement On The Rise At Conferences

During my diversity talk with a group of executives today, one of the topics that came up had to do with some of us observing that personal improvement workshops, seminars or sessions are beginning to be regular part of many industry conferences. Traditionally, many industry conferences for specific fields such as accounting or physiotherapy, have been 100% technical content directly related to those fields.

Now, there is recognition that personal improvement education such as diversity training, communication skills, or stress management, can benefit professionals greatly. Many industry conferences that were formerly all technical, do have personal improvement sessions and they have been very well attended with calls for more such sessions for future events. I will certainly make myself available as a conference speaker with my diversity and motivation presentations to these types of conferences.

Campus Diversity Training Program Feedback

More feedback from college students have been added about my campus diversity training program. These are text testimonials by college students from two different countries, the US and Canada. See the mix of students and what they said about my sessions at campus diversity training program feedback. I hope to present this diversity talk to Toastmasters audiences soon.

Graphic For Diversity Talk By Toastmaster DTM

Here's a new graphic that represents the diversity education presentations by Toastmaster DTM and professional diversity speaker Clint Cora.  The actual diversity training seminar is called 'Kicking Down Diversity Barriers For Success' but the graphic uses the more active take action form 'Kick Down Diversity Barriers'.  This diversity training presentation is available for both colleges and companies.
