jenifer vogt diversity equity and inclusion brochure

Diversity Training Brochure

Diversity is about the way we see.

As small children, we know no boundaries. We see through eyes that require no corrective lenses. And because we see before we speak, our minds know no labels.

Once we begin to speak, however, we acquire the language of differences and our minds begin to associate what we see with descriptive, and sometimes pejorative, words and phrases.

And so we begin to lose our natural acceptance for what is before our eyes.

We learn labels like “black and white” and “right and wrong” and “perfect and flawed.” We label the world around us so that it makes sense, so that it has order. Our vision becomes blurred. And often, without conscious thought or intent, many of us lose the unencumbered acceptance we had as children. We become “comfortable” around people who think, act, and look like we do.

And therein lies the problem facing most organizations: how to help employees see objectively again ⎯ without bias or prejudice ⎯ and promote a culture that values differences. View>>

Women, Wellness & Work in 2023

Done in collaboration with my Women of the Vine & Spirits Wellness Business Resource Group Co-Lead, Cassie Christopher, MS RDN CD.

In the wake of the Covid pandemic, women are paying more attention to their health and well-being than ever before. In this presentation, we covered the eight, mutually interdependent dimensions of wellness identified by the National Institute of Health. We reviewed what each dimension encompasses and then surveyed attendees to understand their health-related goals and interests, both personally and in the workplace. The purpose of this group is to build a community of women working together to take charge of their health and wellness journey. Participants are encouraged to share their challenges and accomplishments, and to exchange ideas and tips for health and well being. We facilitate a confidential and safe space to foster deeper disussion and build supportive relationships.  Please click here to view the presentation.
