  • The UNtraining
    Racism is in the air we breathe, the water we swim in. We all are conditioned by it and it affects the interactions we have with one another. The UNtraining [1] supports us in being aware of our conditioning and letting go of it. Host Marlena Willis talks with Robert Horton, cofounder of the UNtraining, and Kathleen Rice, an UNtraining teacher.
    Robert Horton is co-founder and co-director of the UNtraining. He is a white man with a passionate interest in undoing racism and a belief that this process begins with oneself. Robert has been working with Rita Shimmin since 1994, studying her approach to multi-dimensionality which she calls Racism, Diversity and Risk of the Self. The UNtraining is based on their work together. Robert studied Process Work with Arnold Mindell and has practiced Tibetan Buddhism for more than 30 years.
     
    Kathleen Rice initially joined the UNtraining in 2000, hoping to find the magic trick that she could use to get other white people to work to end racism and white supremacy. That’s not what she got. Instead, she has found something more sustainable, effective, and fulfilling — support for deeply feeling the pain of injustice as well as the joy of community. So instead of fueling her already developed skills of self-righteousness, guilt, shame and judgment, she has and continues to expand her capacity to better access the love, compassion, power, playfulness and joy she brings and receives in doing this work.

  • ​​Essential Communication Skills to Dialogue about Racial and Gender Oppression, and Sexual Harrassment, at the Organizational and Institutional Levels
    Host Nancy Kahn holds a timely discussion with guest, Randi Bryant [1], a corporate diversity trainer and author. They address current events related to the abuse of power across race and gender, and share communication strategies they have found essential in holding successful dialogues of this nature. Nancy and Randi talk about the #MeToo Movement and the recent controversial Supreme Court nomination.
    Listeners are invited to call in to the show at 7:40 pm (dial 1-800-958-9008) to describe any current challenges you are facing in organizations or institutions across race and gender oppression or sexual harassment, and receive support and communication coaching.
    About Randi Bryant: In 2001, Randi founded and still operates a corporate training company, educating companies, executives and employees on topics including anti-discrimination, communication in a diverse work environment, and how to capitalize on a diverse workforce. Randi has grown it from a small start-up consultancy to an award-winning company with a full-service staff and a roster of Fortune 100 clients. Over the years, she has become even more fascinated with how uninformed people in the United States are about racial, gender and cultural issues – and how scared they are to discuss them. Randi writes a popular blog, Beatnik24.com [2], that frequently addresses issues of race, diversity and communication. Her recently published book Neversays: Things That You Should Never Say [3] is  meant to improve communications in diverse work and social environments, is gaining attention. She is a sought-after speaker on diversity issues and is a graduate of Tuskegee University and The College of William & Mary.

  • Microagressions: What They Are, How they Work, and How to Respond
    Join host Timothy Regan, with special guest Martha Lasley [1], Certified Nonviolent Communication Trainer and Leadership Coach, for this episode.
    We provide the definition of a particularly difficult form of communication called a "Microagression," and provide several examples, and then demonstrate how you might free yourself from the freezing effects of them. We offer you ways to respond that brings more relationship back into our world: more consideration, kindness, empowerment, clarity, honesty, and inclusion.
    This episode is for you if you want to build your power and capacity to respond to insidious divisiveness and aggression with language that builds bridges instead of walls between people.
