Recommendation

Workplace consultant and trainer Sarah Beaulieu went on a two-year “listening tour” to learn to understand how people talk about sexual violence. Interviews with leaders, experts in sexual harassment and violence, and men and women from diverse backgrounds led her to create a five-point framework to guide people through the workplace conversations they need to have in the wake of #MeToo. She offers a ticket past the eye-rolling and grumbling that usually accompany office training and shows how to make people feel safe so they can do their most productive work.

Take-Aways

  • A safe, productive work environment requires a new competency: the ability and willingness to engage in uncomfortable conversations.
  • Honest assessment and deliberate practice nourish habit change – not just a reiteration of existing rules. 
  • The “Uncomfortable Conversation Framework” includes five principles that help participants arrive at a conversation with shared expectations and goals.
