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

Please Respect My Generation! - DVD

new.gif

For the first time, we have as many as five different generations together in the workplace.  

Please Respect My Generation! bridges the gap between them and shows audiences how to avoid conflict and increase productivity in their generationally diverse workplace. By learning about life experiences, values, and ideas of all five generations, participants gain a better understanding of their coworkers as it relates to their own experience and behavior.  For example, learn what our newest generation, Generation 9/11, and our oldest, the Traditionals, have in common. Both managers and employees will gain insight and learn simple dos and don'ts when dealing with coworkers of different generations. All five generations discuss their own generational traits and that of their coworkers. Learn to communicate better, deal with change, increase productivity, and develop a more respectful workplace. Please Respect My Generation! 5 Generations at Work integrates respect and unity at work for people at all stages of life.  

 Key Learning Points: 

  • Learn how each generation is identified and defined.
  • Explore which traits are commonly associated with each generation and how that impacts the workplace.

Drop By Drop - Subtle Discrimination - DVD

Best-Seller!

Free Online Preview

Who said you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff? What if those small things undermined morale and reduced productivity? This diversity program, Drop by Drop, demonstrates how the small slights, subtle discriminations and tiny injustices can add up to big problems in your workplace! These little negative gestures are called “micro-inequities” and they occur in organizations every day. These small communications of disrespect, prejudice and inequality aren’t overt, but they can be incredibly destructive. A poison in the workplace that isn’t delivered in a bucket, but takes its toll drop by drop.

The program opens with an unhappy ending – the resignation of a frustrated employee. We then explore the workplace responsible for creating this situation. The program’s host engages and challenges the viewer with his strange perspective on our insensitive behaviors. He walks us through several examples of micro-inequities that could easily be avoided and then shares the key concepts for creating an inclusive and productive work environment: Put a stop to the disrespectful little “paper cuts” co-workers unknowingly inflict upon each other. Raise awareness and emphasize the importance of maintaining a thoughtful and respectful workplace with Drop by Drop.

Key Learning Points:

  • CONSIDER: Listen, empathize, and follow the “platinum rule” by treating others as they’d like to be treated.
  • RESPECT: Show regard for all races, religions, cultures and ages and value the talents each person brings to the workplace.
  • LEARN: Be open to information about different cultures, customs and perspectives of your co-workers. Learn to communicate with kindness and clarity.

Includes: A 19 minute DVD (English and Spanish versions – many also include Portuguese), comprehensive leader’s guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM and Drop by Drop Handbook

Managing Four Generations in the Workplace - DVD

Free Online Preview

For the first time in history, there are four generations in the workplace at the same time. Each of these age groups has different expectations and different demands, and employers who cannot recognize these will lose their best employees and see their workplaces in turmoil. In this scenario-based sequel to the best-seller Mixing Four Generations in the Workplace, Cam Marston helps supervisors and managers learn the techniques needed to handle cross-generational communications problems, avoid conflict, and maximize performance.

This program will teach you how to "Gen-Flex" or move into another generation's comfort zone. Do you remember the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" The golden rule would be great if we were all the same generation. But because people are different they need to be treated differently. This is the basis for what we call Gen-Flexing, operating in another generation's world. Treat them as they want to be treated. Gen-Flex out your comfort zone into theirs.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the characteristics, attitudes, and values of each generation
  • Identify specific actions a manager can take to coach, motivate, and get results from each generation
  • Determine how your management approach may need to change when coaching, managing and retaining employees of different generations
  • Discover ways to Gen-Flex™ in order to solve generational problems in the workplace

DVD includes:

Program One - Learning How to Gen-Flex - 21 Minutes
Program Two - Solving Five Difficult Problems - 14 Minutes


Program includes: 2-program DVD, CD with Facilitator's Guide, Participant Guide, and customizable PowerPoint Presentation that can be printed and used as a handout.

The Respectful Workplace (3 DVD Set)

These program are also available for online training. See details below.

Request a free online preview! 

While the media has focused on the spectacular but very rare instances of lethal workplace violence, the reality in most workplaces is very different. We deal with daily occurrences of hostility, intimidation, harassment and other damaging behavior. The perpetrators are employees, managers and customers. So are the victims. They are us. Unlike the rare, extreme cases, the more common manifestations of workplace violence take a daily toll on most workplaces. The Respectful Workplace is a resource designed to help organizations put an end to this other violence - the destructive conflicts that affect us all.

Series Objectives

The Respectful Workplace is a 3 part training series designed to help organizations address the behavioral and values issues that can allow conflicts to escalate. The series treats workplace violence as an outgrowth of hostility, harassment, bullying and intimidation which has not been effectively dealt with and arms employees and managers with the tools they will need to ensure respectful workplace relations.

Program Contents:  

  • Program 1, Opening the Right Doors (25 minutes) teaches employees skills for dispute resolution and diffusing hostility. We learn to take responsibility for eliminating intimidation, bullying and harassment from our workplace culture.

     

  •  Program 2, Diffusing Hostility through Customer Service (25 minutes), takes a strong customer service training approach to the issue of working with hostile customers. Important communications skills are taught which will help employees turn difficult customer service challenges around. However, where abusive customers cross the lines of acceptable behavior, employees are empowered to put their physical and emotional safety first.

     

  • Program 3, Managing Harmony (26 minutes), defines the role leaders must play in creating and supporting a non-violent, respectful workplace. We explore the organizational costs of inappropriate behavior, diffusing hostile situations, aligning policy and behavior with the organization's values, how conflict can be a positive force, and the organization's responsibility to provide effective avenues for dispute resolution. 

Each program in The Respectful Workplace series includes several dramatizations designed to help focus and stimulate discussion. There are 10 of these scenes.

Support Materials

The Respectful Workplace series comes with a comprehensive Facilitator's Guide. Handout pages are incorporated in the guide. Trainers need only to decide which topics would be relevant for individual distribution and which to copy as transparencies.

A Matter of Respect - DVD

How to Recognize & Eliminate Disrespectful Behavior

Harassment, whether direct or indirect, takes many forms. Innuendos, slurs, mimicking, jokes, leering, intimidation, touching, gesturing, threats, rumors, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, forms of harassment are taking place every day within most organizations. And, unless disrespectful behavior is recognized and appropriate action taken, it will continue and lead to low morale, poor productivity, and turnover.

After viewing this program and participating in the interactive discussion, participants will: 

  • Get in touch with their feelings and express their reactions to the situational dramas presented in the program.
  • Recognize and discuss direct and indirect forms of disrespectful behavior between co-workers and outside customers.
  • Learn and role play (optional) the most effective approaches to confronting the harasser directly.
  • Recognize that it may be necessary and appropriate to report harassment to a manager or human relations person in the organization.

This is an interactive learning session that will take between 45 minutes and one hour if used as designed. A variety of situations are presented as acted-out scenes. Each scene has a number which appears in the lower right corner. Scenes center around situations regarding: 

  • Age
  • Race
  • Religion
  • Sexual Orientation
  • Disability
  • Sex or Gender
  • Weight
  • Language or National
  • Origin
  • Insensitivity by Managers and Supervisors
  • Rumors

    Dialogue - Now You're Talking! Series - DVD

    This program is also available for online training. See details below.

    Request a free online preview!

    Through a series of short dramatizations this unique series explores the rules and techniques that distinguish a Dialogue from other forms of communication, such as debate or negotiation. The series examines how we can surface the often unspoken assumptions, in ourselves and in others, that can stand in the way of effective organizational communication. In so doing we build mutual trust and respect.

    Each program in the series can stand alone and may be licensed separately. There are volume discounts if you license the entire series or multiple copies of any program.

    Program Contents:

    Communicating in a Diverse World. Overview. What is dialogue - contrasting debate and dialogue. Initiating Dialogue - how to do it, where to do it. The skills of Dialogue - Suspension (of judgment, decision making and status); Listening (with empathy, for understanding, showing you care); Discovery (uncovering and sharing hidden assumptions in yourself and others). Includes a dramatization of how Dialogue helps us communicate across job functions, helping improve relations between people at different levels within the organization as well as between different departments or areas of expertise. (25 minutes)

    Dialogue for Cultural Understanding. We apply the skills of dialogue outlined in Program 1 to challenges faced in culturally diverse work environments. We see a dramatization that demonstrates how dialogue can be used to open communication, uncover hidden assumptions, break down stereotypes and facilitate more productive relationships. (24 minutes)

    Dialogue between Genders. A dramatized dialogue shows us how the skills we learned in Program 1 can be used to overcome misunderstandings, break down gender stereotypes and improve communications between men and women at work. (21 minutes)

    Dialogue among Generations. We demonstrate how the skills of dialogue can be used to bridge the personal and professional style differences that exist between employees of different ages. We uncover how divergent personal and world views common to people of different generations can lead to misunderstandings and distrust and how dialogue can help overcome age barriers and build more productive workplace relationships. (24 minutes)

    Program includes: A comprehensive facilitation guide, reproducible handouts and PowerPoint slides for classroom presentation.

    Let's Get Honest (A Sexual Harassment Training Package) - DVD

    Free Online Preview

     

    We are exposed to a daily barrage of media images and advertising messages, all designed to appeal to our sexuality. And yet, when it comes to work, we're expected to check it at the door, like a coat we take on and off at will.

    There are plenty of training programs that deal with preventing sexual harassment in the workplace. They define sexual harassment. They give examples. Some teach managers how to create a harassment-free workplace. Some teach sexual responsibility.

    Let's Get Honest: A Motivational Video - 15 minutes

    The LET'S GET HONEST package is the first to address how difficult it is to live in a sexually-charged society while working in an environment that is supposed to be void of anything sexual.

    The Program sets a whole new standard in sexual harassment training. A beautiful program, it is remarkably human in its approach and message. It speaks candidly to employees regarding the difference between their work life and personal life. Engaging, insightful and occasionally humorous it offers employees a real world perspective, presenting surprisingly honest solutions to a variety of workplace issues ranging from flirting and dating to clueless behavior and predatory harassment. It offers employees real tools they can use immediately to help themselves be on their best behavior at work.

    He Said, She Said: Interactive Sexual Harassment Workshop - 26 minutes

    HE SAID, SHE SAID has been designed to help employees evaluate their own conduct as it relates to sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior at work. Seven interactive scenarios use riveting performances and twisting plot lines to subtly challenge employees beliefs and perceptions. As employees progress through each scenario they first hear from the alleged victim as they present their view of the events in question. The DVD pauses and employees are asked to come to an initial conclusion. Discussions follow, which allow conflicting points of view to be aired and explored. Then as the scenario continues, employees are forced to explore for the facts and read between the lines as they hear from the alleged harasser and witnesses. In the end it becomes apparent that sometimes our bias, perceptions and behaviors may need to be re-evaluated.

    The 5 Values of GREAT Customer Service - DVD

    This program is also available for online training -- See details below.

    Request free online preview! 

    Customer service interactions can be complex under the best of conditions. Add issues of language, race, gender, religion, age or disability into the mix, and we often find otherwise competent employees acting in ways ranging from mildly inappropriate to inexcusably rude.

    The customer demographics for most organizations are changing in such a way as to increase the diversity of the populations we serve. This makes it imperative that we improve our customer service training so as to prepare employees to meet the challenges this diversity can present. Simple platitudes about the customer being "number one" or providing "first class service" are not enough. We must work on the values and skills employees need to meet or exceed the expectations of ALL their customers.

    The 5 Values of GREAT Customer Service presents a values-based training approach to meeting this challenge. The program component, when taken together with the exercises and activities in the facilitation guide, offers a comprehensive approach to developing customer service relationships built on a foundation of respect.

    By viewing the program and working through the support materials, participants will...

     

    • Better understand how to provide ALL customers with GREAT service
    • Be aware that how customers perceive the service we offer and how we perceive the needs of our customers may depend on their (and our own) personal and cultural perspectives
    • Develop a values-based approach to customer service
    • Become familiar with the G R E A T acronym and know how to apply it to our relations with our customers

    Program Includes: A 24 minute DVD or VHS, Facilitator's Guide and reproducable handouts.

    Conflict: Rules of Engagement - DVD

    How often have you heard someone say, "I'd like to get rid of conflict in my life?" According to management consultant, author, and dynamic lecturer, Dr. Pat Heim, the day we're rid of conflict is the day we die.

    Conflict, like death and taxes, is something we can bank on throughout our lives. "But one of the great ironies about conflict," says Dr. Heim, "is that conflict is a central component for developing team cohesion in the workplace." The art of conflict management on the job and in all interpersonal relationships is the subject of Conflict: The Rules of Engagement. Dr. Heim takes viewers through proven strategies which neutralize some conflicts straight out, or simplify complex conflicts into manageable ones. The end result is a more productive and respectful organization. Joining THE POWER DEAD-EVEN RULE AND OTHER GENDER DIFFERENCES IN THE WORKPLACE, and INVISIBLE RULES: MEN, OMEN & TEAMS, CONFLICT: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT is the third program in the best-selling Pat Heim library

    Produced - 2007

    Free Online Preview

    Teamwork has never been captured in such a fresh and exciting way! But then most training programs don't feature the engaging meerkat of the Kalahari Desert in a starring role. One for All - The Meerkat Way is an inspirational new program that utilizes riveting footage of meerkats in their natural habitat using teamwork and cooperation to ensure their survival!

    One for All both trains and motivates with its down-to-earth demonstration of important teamwork principles. Participants will clearly understand the value of team-oriented behaviors as the following training points are highlighted:

    • The power of cooperation
    • Respecting teammates
    • Being accountable
    • Communicating
    • Learning from each other

    Everybody loves meerkats. But as a species, the meerkat should never have survived at all. These tiny, vulnerable creatures live in an incredibly hostile environment full of savage predators, such as jackals and martial eagles. The fact that they survive at all can be attributed to a single extraordinary talent: their ability to cooperate and create an interdependent culture. That is the heart of this upbeat and informative documentary-style training program. Beautifully filmed by BBC crews, One for All can work wonders to improve an attitude of teamwork and cooperation in your organization.
