**IDEAB* Training Programs**

Empathy and EQ are cornerstones of inclusion. In addition to providing this baseline foundation and supporting a more positive culture, CEEQ offers client specific training to support individuals exploring active participation, power & privilege, multicultural environments, and more.

We can structure this as individual trainings, which are largely to sensitize and educate bit not seen as a long term remedy. Or we can design a program that helps create sustainable shift in the workplace culture towards inclusion of all differences - thus recognizing the inherent challenges and tensions these differences create and offering proactive means to facilitate that tension to develop a creative and inclusive workplace.

*Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Belonging

Coaching: 1:1 and Team

In addition to the trainings and practice within a large group, we offer team and individual coaching.

Working with an external coach has the benefits of providing an objective and neutral party. As such, a co-creation, with the organization and its members, can occur to develop their specific skills and explore their challenges while using proven techniques to teach new approaches to solving these challenges in meaningful and creative ways. Group coaching offers the same structure within a unit to advance unit goals.

Speaking

People have said that Misha has an infectious positivity, intuitiveness, and empathy. Audience members feel compelled to lean in when she shares with deepened curiosity and engagement.

Misha has several signature talks including but not limited to the following: Centering Empathy in Your Leadership and Beyond, Joy Amidst Adversity in the Workplace, Leading the Way to Culture Change, and the Top Five Things to Know to Successfully Implement Sustainable DEIAB in Your Workplace.

All of Misha’s talks are inspirational, educational, and supportive of changing the workplace culture from negative toxicity to meaningful connection.

I found Misha's trainings to be incredibly beneficial both personally and professionally. Her expertise and advice for coping with times of stress or disappointment helps to reset the mindset and provide renewed energy and problem-solving skills. Although everyone could benefit from her exercises and insights, those in high-stress professions will learn skills critical to their performance and internal well-being. Not only are her trainings transformative, they are also filled with joy. The time our team spent with Misha allowed a respite from the difficulties and frustrations imposed by the current pandemic so that we were able to come back with renewed vigor and sense of purpose.

Deanne, Non-Profit Organization
Many benefits from this team building session. It reminded me of things I may have been aware of but haven’t been implementing as much as I would like to. I watched many of my co-workers connect with themselves and others and I believe this will improve our team as a whole as well as individuals on not only a professional level but in their private lives. Beautiful work.

Ben wilson, Assistant area manager, BoaVida Communities
Misha is an amazing person whose energy radiates to everyone she talks to, even through Zoom. Her responsiveness to what people say, and her ability to read between the lines, is extremely helpful and allowed me to be open and vulnerable. I think attorneys, like myself, have trouble modulating emotions and responses to stress, and Misha can definitely help with those issues. I would also recommend her to friends and family, especially those dealing with particular stressors like grief or issues with work.

Hope, Non-Profit Organization
Sessions with Misha have given me additional tools to better cope with the stress/anxiety of everyday life. Misha's sessions allowed our workplace to further bond, as well as provided a safe space for everyone to reflect upon stressors in our lives and tips on how to manage them.

Melissa, Non-Profit Organization
Amazing. I learned a lot about the different types and traits of feelings and communication skills. I also learned how to recognize them and help with controlling them as well as ways to interact and de-escalate a situation that may arise. Thank you for what you do and teach.

George Nicholson, BoaVida Communities
Misha's positivity is infectious. Misha's sessions were a good start on my journey to learning to live in the here and now, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about what might happen in the future. Misha helped me to learn that sometimes pausing to reflect about how I am feeling right now and addressing those feelings immediately is a helpful practice. I believe that doing these group sessions at work helped all of us to communicate more openly with one another. I feel that our team has a stronger bond because of these sessions. I already have recommended Misha to several friends as I felt that I learned a great deal from these sessions.

Nina, Non-Profit Organization
The session made me aware of the fact that I am not the only overwhelmed property manager. Therefore, maybe I am not as stupid as I thought I was. Sad to say I feel better about myself knowing others are experiencing the same stress as I am. My hope is that we all (the team) overcome the stress by using the tools you taught us. I know I beat myself up all the time. It hurts me to know other team members are beating themselves up too.

Foundations

This three-part foundational series grounds participants in empathy, emotional intelligence, and emotional management, a key component of sustainability.
The series consists of classes and practice sessions. The classes establish a common vocabulary base-line, why it matters in the workplace, and how it might show up for each individual.
The practice sessions are designed to provide a space where participants may reflect and share how they have implemented or will implement concepts learned in class.

Personal Frameworks

Building on the foundation work, participants will now develop personal best practices, norms, and processes that establish habits out of the tools from foundations.
Using facilitated dialogue for reflection and an agile approach, we encourage participants to find what works for them, explore their triggers and seek opportunities to refine their approach and self-care to ensure a true behavior shift.
By maintaining a rhythm of reflection we offer the space for self-maintenance, while also providing concrete ideas and helping to normalize the iterative process required to establish and maintain new habits.

Building an Institutional Culture

This series focuses on key areas catered to your specific organizational concerns and helps units establish broader norms for the organization. Examples might be: crisis communications, onboarding, managing employees.
This could involve continuing the practices from Phase 2: Personal Framework but iterating based off of one another’s experiences or support units to develop testable hypotheses that they deploy within their departments. By comparing results, they will establish new ways of doing and being that will be consistent across the organization, elevating relationships and enhancing connection as a matter of course.
