The Real Conversations With Impact (RCWI) Experience

Diversity and inclusion are top priorities for organization leaders. However, these topics can be hard to discuss, and sustainable change can be difficult to facilitate. Therefore, using an evidenced-based approach, the Real Conversations With Impact (RCWI) Experience™ was created to provide a safe space to host challenging conversations, explore intense emotions, and educate participants on how to strive towards being anti-racist. Being anti-racist means we are actively identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies, practices, and attitudes. Through engaging in intentional action, participating in tough conversations, gaining knowledge, and interrupting biases we can all walk on this journey together.

Objectives and Outcomes

  1. Evaluate bias through self-assessment
  2. Understand how privilege is expressed in individual lives
  3. Describe how awareness of bias can motivate anti-racist action
  4. List the signs we are exercising bias that contribute to resistance
  5. Recognize systemic barriers within our organizations

"Dr. Warner facilitated a session for my organization on Unmasking Microaggressions in the workplace. The webinar was a huge success, and Dr. Warner was very accommodating with the needs of the organization. Most notably, he adjusted his presentation time to fit our needs. Dr. Warner was a pleasure to work with throughout the booking and prep process, and was always very responsive and organized. He also provided several materials upfront to make planning rather effortless. Staff were particularly impressed with the toolkit he provides after the session for participants to utilize on their own."

Microaggressions in the Workplace Training Experience

"I am thrilled to write a review of Dr. Warner's work as a public speaker for a Black History Month presentation he provided for us at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center on behalf of our Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. His talk on Resiliency in the Black Community garnered an audience of health care workforce providers and educators eager to learn about this topic and how it relates to the work that we do at our institution. Dr. Warner was engaging and collaborative in the talk and it was very well received. We very much look forward to having Dr. Warner back to talk on our campus and are so grateful for his work here in New Mexico."

Resiliency in the Black Community Training Experience

"Dr. Ryan Warner was a great presenter. He used multiple avenues as a way to encourage everyone to participate in the discussion. I liked that he included relevant personal experiences. The discussion was very informative and he provided many resources at the end. Dr. Warner's lecture style was very engaging and compassionate which I appreciated, especially in regards to such a triggering and charged topic. This could have easily gone on to be a 2 or 3 hour workshop and I know I would have enjoyed it!"
