About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, where we interview experts about innovative courses and programs. I'm thrilled to have Sarah, an instructor for the Advanced Certificate in Conflict Resolution for Diversity and Inclusion, join us today. Sarah, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to teach this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've spent over 15 years working in human resources, and I've seen firsthand how crucial it is to manage conflicts effectively, especially in diverse workplaces. This course allows me to share my insights and help professionals build inclusive environments. HOST: That's fantastic. And what current industry trends are most relevant to this advanced certificate? GUEST: There's growing recognition of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. Employers are seeking professionals who can navigate complex disputes and foster positive, inclusive cultures. Our course addresses these needs by teaching mediation, negotiation, and cultural competency skills. HOST: Speaking of those skills, what challenges have you encountered in teaching them, or that students face while learning? GUEST: One common challenge is recognizing and addressing unconscious bias. It can be difficult to identify our own biases, but it's crucial for effective conflict resolution. Our course provides strategies and tools to help students become more aware of their biases and microaggressions. HOST: That's so important. Now, looking to the future, how do you see the field of conflict resolution for diversity and inclusion evolving? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a strong emphasis on building inclusive workplaces. As our society becomes more diverse, the demand for skilled professionals who can manage conflicts and promote understanding will only grow.
