The Eye of the Storm with Jane Elliott - DVD

Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Jane Elliott, a third grade teacher in an all-white, all-Christian small town, wanted to teach her class what it feels like to be discriminated against based on a physical characteristic over which one has no control.

She divided her students into two groups: those with brown eyes, and those with blue eyes.

DAY ONE: She tells the class the “truth” about brown eyed people: that they’re lazy, stupid, dirty … all of the stereotypes Americans hold about people of color.

In a matter of minutes, blue eyed students begin to get the gleam of power in their eyes. Brown eyed students sink in their chairs, and their test scores decline.

DAY TWO: Elliott introduces a twist. She tells the class that she made a mistake; blue eyed people are the inferior ones.

The cycle begins again. Once both groups of students have been on the receiving end of discrimination, Elliott brings them together to talk about how they felt and help them draw connections between their feelings that day and racism in the outside world.

This award-winning documentary is enhanced by a comprehensive Facilitator’s Guide applicable to all ages.

Indecently Exposed with Jane Elliott - DVD

"I'm your resident bitch for the day - welcome to the workshop!" - Anti-racism expert Jane Elliott. That's how anti-racism expert Jane Elliott describes her role in this reality-based documentary that challenges Canadian attitudes towards Native Canadians.

"Even nice Canadians are racist..." With cameras rolling, she divides the 22 unsuspecting participants by eye color - blue eyes in one group, brown eyes (many of them Native Canadian) in the other. Elliott turns the tables on the participants, treating the blue eyes as "persons of color", confronting and browbeating them, while the brown eyes are treated with respect. Filmed in Regina, Sask., Indecently Exposed illustrates and exposes how systematic racism continues to thrive in Canada today.

Powerful insights into the personal lives of the participants combined with the intensity of the workshop experience, create an engrossing emotional and psychological drama as the blue eyes learn what it feels like to be a target of discrimination. The experience causes many of the participants to re-evaluate their behavior and think about change.

The goal, Elliott says, is to find even one person who is willing to stand up and change things, to become an activist, to do something about the problem. As brown-eyed Clayton Maxxi puts it best: "We wish this never existed, that it was just a movie, but it's real!"

    Invisible Rules: Men, Women and Teams - DVD

    "Successful organizations of the future are going to have leaders, are going to have team members who understand the rules of both cultures." -- Dr. Pat Heim According to Dr. Pat Heim in this customer-requested sequel to THE POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE, men and women grow up in different cultures, learning different lessons about what it means to be a leader and what it means to be a team player. The hitch is that the rules of these cultures are typically invisible and these invisible rules are the cause of many misunderstandings as men and women work together on teams. In her thoughtful and lively presentation, Dr. Heim sorts out some of these INVISIBLE RULES. Among her insights: -- Men and women have radically different ideas of what it means to be a team player. -- Our meeting behaviors are different. For men, the meeting often doesn't happen in the meeting and women may not know this. -- Women often use disclaimers, hedges, and tag questions in their linquistic behavior which can backfire when talking to men. -- Our non-verbal communication is different. For example, when women nod it means "I hear you," while men nod in agreement. These differences are not right or wrong but they can result in confusion and conflict. By making these INVISIBLE RULES visible, Dr. Heim provides the basis or better understanding, communication and teamwork.

    Employers who solely focus on sexual harassment prevention leave themselves and their diverse workers at risk for other serious behaviors that lead to conflict and liability. This important EEO/diversity program/workshop teaches employees, managers and resource personnel how to resolve all forms of harassment and other disrespectful behaviors such as male bashing and horseplay before they negatively impact on morale and productivity.

The managerial workshops first module provides in-depth training in receiving/responding to complaints and preventing even subtle retaliation. Participants gain hands-on practice by working through a realistic sexual harassment complaint compounded by the victims past participation and a religious harassment counter-charge.

    The Covey Leadership Library consists of the following video programs:

    I Know Just What You Mean! - This workshop explores the difference between listening with the intent to respond and listening with the intent to understand.

(Length: 20 minutes)

    Leading By Example - Powerful, principle-centered video learning workshop that illustrates the difference a mentor and coach can make.

(Length: 20 minutes)

    Mauritius - In this documentary, participants learn guiding principles designed to turn individual viewpoints into lasting organizational cohesiveness.

    Twelve Angry Men: Teams That Don't Quit - DVD

    Twelve Angry Men: Teams That Don't Quit uses selected clips from the classic movie starring Henry Fonda and a stellar supporting cast. It presents a vivid example of a team fighting its way to success. In scene after scene, we watch the intense interactions among members of a jury in a murder case. Charged by the judge to do your duty, this team of jurors must determine whether the accused is guilty or not.

    This innovative video highlights five important concepts of great significance to our life at work:

    • Open inquiry
    • Accepting responsibility for making a decision
    • Equality of team members as participants in the process
    • Value of conflict in uncovering ideas and new information
    • The essential role of diversity in making effective decisions

    The program is narrated by Dr. Margaret Wheatley, former professor of management at Brigham Young University and author of several best-selling books on leadership and organizational behavior. Dr. Wheatley shows us the parallels between the dramatic confrontations we see on the screen and certain behaviors familiar to work groups.

    Length: 22 minutes, includes Leader's Guide.
