You're facing pushback on LGBTQ+ awareness training. How can you address staff resistance effectively?

This case draws parallel to a topic that we’ve spent weeks understanding in university. It’s called ‘Changing Culture’. People come with preconceived notions and patterns. Their opinions are built over years of influence and experience. Believing that you can impose and change them in a few days- is definitely not practical. The maiden step is to acknowledge & understand their concerns. If the professors are showing resistance towards LGBTQ+ awareness training, you must make an effort to earn their trust by listening to them. When you build a rapport with people by giving them an ear, it makes them feel heard & important. You could implement this by: (1) An anonymous concern form (2) One-on-one meetings (3) Group discussions

Stop doing such training. It is trivial and makes no difference to the way people think. The last few years have seen an increase in problems between groups because it is highlighted and members of specific groups are given unnecessary privileges which creates discord.

When facing resistance to LGBTQ+ awareness training, the first step is to listen. Create a safe space where staff can openly express their concerns and viewpoints without fear of judgment. By genuinely understanding their hesitations, you can address misconceptions and fears directly. Acknowledge their feelings and provide clarity on the training's objectives. Emphasize that the goal is not to impose beliefs but to foster respect and understanding. By leading with empathy and listening, you build trust and make staff more receptive to the training's value.

La Cancel Culture non merci. Les personnels enseignants de certaines facultés fran?aises fort heureusement ne sont pas encore gangrénées. S’il y a de la résistance, résistons. La dégénérescence humaine doit avoir des limites et on ne peut pas accepter le rejet de toute une civilisation et d’une culture spécifiques sous prétexte ambigu de compréhension et d’acceptation de toutes les dérives en particulier les dérives communautaires ou politiques.

People tend to receive better when they can relate to a situation or start feeling for it personally. A good way to educate resistant professors tactfully is by using situational and experiential methods of teaching. Show them the genuine plights of LGBTQ+students, stories of bullying or non-inclusivity, or some cases of abuse. Sensitise them about how people are being abused and how can this awareness training help. Show them their role in changing lives for good. Make them a part of the movement that enables people to grow and thrive. Touch their EQ first and then build over on it to educate them on the technicalities.

When facing pushback on LGBTQ+ awareness training, approach the situation with empathy and respect. Start by listening to concerns without judgment to understand the root of resistance. Educate tactfully by connecting the training to shared values like respect and inclusion, emphasizing its importance for a harmonious work environment. Highlight the benefits, such as improved teamwork and client relationships. Offer space for open dialogue, allowing staff to express their views while gently guiding them to see the value in embracing diversity. Lead by example, demonstrating commitment to inclusivity.

Falar de inclus?o no ensino superior é algo repetitivo, contudo por ainda n?o estarmos alinhados, algumas pondera??es ainda s?o necessárias. Precisamos conscientizar os envolvidos que, na verdade, o que realmente importa s?o as pessoas e n?o suas escolhas pessoais. Se todos os envolvidos em um projeto tem os mesmos objetivos em comum, n?o há o que se falar em inclus?o, pois seria 'andar para trás', contudo algumas pessoas insistem em misturar vida pessoal com a profissional. Sempre que houver divergências de pensamentos e opini?es que firam o coletivo, o assunto deve sim ser tratado em um treinamento, qualquer que seja o tema.
