    Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts - DVD

    This program is also available for online training - learn more!

    What do you do if someone you care about is the target of demeaning stereotypes? What if you are being demeaned or stereotyped? How often do you speak up on behalf of respect? This new program, based on the book by Leslie Aguilar, can be used for training on Diversity & Inclusion, Communication, Teamwork and Leadership.

    Why is OUCH! important?

    Staying silent in the face of demeaning comments, stereotypes or bias allows these attitudes and behaviors to thrive. This undermines our ability to create an inclusive workplace where all employees are welcomed, treated with respect and able to do their best work. Yet, most employees and leaders who want to speak up don't know how. So, we say nothing.

    What Does OUCH! do?

    In a unique and powerful way, viewers will experience the impact of stereotypical comments, explore why people don't speak up against stereotypes and other biased behaviors, and learn six techniques for speaking up without blame or guilt.

    OUCH! Learning Objectives: 

    • Understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements, even when casually said.
    • Identify the most common reasons people sit silent in the face of bias and stereotypes.
    • Enhance skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt.

    Program includes: 12 minute DVD or VHS video, Speaking Up Activity 5 min., OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts with vignettes 13 min., CD-ROM with Leader's Guide, Powerpoint presentation, 1 OUCH! book and 10 OUCH! reminder cards

    The Dreaded Appraisal - DVD (English)

    Best-Seller!

    Produced - 1990

    This training program is designed to ensure managers conduct positive appraisals that focus on staff motivation and business effectiveness.

    Giving a review - or receiving one - is a challenging experience, even when the news is good. Prevent performance appraisals from turning into disasters with The Dreaded Appraisal.

    This popular video emphasizes the need to remain in control, avoid irrelevant arguments and gain agreement on specific, measurable performance goals. The Dreaded Appraisal lets you sit in as three managers review three different employees, each an archetype of a 'problem' personality. Each illustrates a different challenge for managers and each presents an opportunity to turn negative attitudes into positive actions. First comes Shy Sharon, who has bottled up all her opinions and concerns. The manager helps Sharon to express herself in a positive manner and see the value of honest, open communication. Next is Touchy Tracey, who takes the defensive, insisting every comment the manager makes is a criticism. The manager helps Tracey regain her balance and accept constructive criticism gracefully. Getting through to Aggressive Alan calls for a completely different approach. Eventually, the manager pries him away from his organizational critique and shifts the focus to where it belongs, on Alan's role.

    The Dreaded Appraisal comes with a special video for the appraisee, explaining what to expect, how to prepare and how to benefit from the appraisal.

    Learning Objectives: 

    • Get appraisees to open up
    • Create an unhurried atmosphere
    • Praise and encourage
    • Probe and listen
    • Face up to the problem
    • Stick to the facts
    • Invite self-appraisal Agree on an action plan
    • Work to a structure
