NEXT ROUND DATES TBD
VIRTUAL
$450

This five-week workshop is for individuals finding their footing in the allyship space and for teams and companies looking to expand their awareness and improve the culture in their workplace.

Week 1 / awareness

Week 1 is all about learning the 4 principles that serve as the foundation of this work along with creating a shared language and examining systems of oppression at varying levels.
Week 2 / Get personal

Then, we shift our focus to ourselves and create our Social Identity Diagram while digging into how our identity and life experiences shape our reactions to conflict.
week 3 / analysis

In our third session, we do the hard but important work of pinpointing our biases and our triggers, but also our strengths. Additionally, we will examine where we hold power while determining where we can add value by leveraging our privilege.

Week 4 / commit

Week 4 is about discovering where and how we would like to make an impact, learning how to build trust by holding ourselves accountable, and embracing new tools that will help us commit to showing up intentionally every day.
Week 5 / Action

This week, we will map out our personal mission statement and create a path to doing the work of being in allyship, advocacy, and complicity with others.
We will also...

Cover the four sticky standards of Right to Comfort, Elevation of Politeness, Neutrality, and Defensiveness and investigate how they work together to create tense situations so we can avoid this common trap.

Course structure

This is 5-session, virtual workshop. Attendees will receive an email with instructions on how to access the materials for each day.

“This course breaks down social constructs in a non-threatening and all-inclusive way, while creating a safe space for people to share and ask questions. With its focus on self-reflection and knowledge as power, I would recommend it to absolutely everyone.”

“Marisa Kennedy's Activate 101 course provides a safe, soft space to discuss challenging topics, to help people acknowledge, improve upon, and perhaps even dismantle their own inner truths, biases, and privilege, and to give people the tools to become an active, empathetic, and productive ally.
She leads with compassion, patience, and honesty, creating conducive conditions for growth.”

“This course was crazy helpful! Marisa got me to look at the way I communicate in a way that has helped my personal and work relationships. The Sticky Standards and her method for dealing with them, while presented within the framework of microaggressions, has helped me navigate how I communicate with everyone in my life.
I think every human being should take this. It's a very special and helpful course that has been invaluable for me.”
