Beyond Words: Building Real Trans Inclusion - A workshop with Jules Gill-Peterson
About this event
Forget everything you’ve learned in Trans 101!
This workshop ditches the repetitive pronoun circles and endless glossaries of the standard DEI model and instead teaches you how to tap into your greatest resource for trans inclusion: yourself.
Led by trans scholar and public figure Jules Gill-Peterson, participants will work together in a uniquely practical way to tackle what feels hardest, awkward, and anxiety-inducing about trans-inclusion.
Whether you are just starting to think about gender diversity or have a great deal of experience, this workshop will let you get to the heart of what really matters in your organization, company, or institution.
You’ll leave with a new network of like-minded professionals and a personalized agenda of action items.
About Jules Gill-Peterson
Jules Gill-Peterson is a trans historian, writer, and cultural critic. She is the author of “Histories of the Transgender Child,” winner of a Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Nonfiction, and the recipient of a Chancellor’s Distinguished Research Award from the University of Pittsburgh. Her writing and work have also been published in The New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, Washington Post, and Jewish Currents.
Jules is currently an Associate Research Professor of History at Johns Hopkins Hospital and a General Editor of Transgender Studies Quarterly.
This workshop will help you:
Break out of the mold: Discover why the usual trans diversity and inclusion doesn’t achieve what it aims for.
Find your strengths: Participate in breakout sessions in which you will identify the challenges you face in building meaningful trans inclusion and work with your peers on action items.
Leverage the hive mind: Build a real-time database of challenges and solutions with your fellow workshop participants.
Registration
A value of $249, offered to you for only $149!
Registration includes a 90-minute hands-on workshop with Jules Gill-Peterson.
You’ll also receive a recording of the workshop that you can refer back to.

"I Quit!": A Fireside Chat with Coonoor Behal
About this event
Quitting carries a lot of stigma and shame in society, with connotations of “failure” or “not being able to stick it out” prevailing. Sayings such as “Quitters never win” have tricked us into believing that maintaining the status quo is always the “right” thing to do—or is the less risky choice. In fact, in life, it’s a risk if you do AND it’s a risk if you don’t.
Quitting is a choice—but so is not quitting.
Join us for a conversation about how to quit the things that aren’t serving you and make greater progress toward what you want in life.
About Coonoor Behal
Coonoor Behal is the Founder & CEO of Mindhatch, a consultancy that helps organizations create the conditions for innovation and creativity to thrive. Through Mindhatch, Coonoor delivers her unique mix of expertise in Design Thinking, Organizational Improv™, Innovation Facilitation, and Diversity & Inclusion.
Coonoor has helped Deloitte create, prototype, and launch an in-house design thinking consulting arm; be a part of a “stealth” team of design strategists and researchers guiding numerous teams at Starbucks; trained more than 100 people at Bethpage Federal Credit Union in design thinking; helped the Department of State and the Pentagon use improv to be more creative and collaborative thinkers, and has helped the Inter-American Development Bank’s Gender & Diversity Division generate and come to a consensus on their strategic vision.
Coonoor is the author of I Quit! The Life-Affirming Joy of Giving Up, which is published by New Degree Press. The book seeks to help readers rethink and reframe quitting by sharing stories from everyday people who summoned the courage to quit things in their lives.
Coonoor has been an improv comedy performer for over 10 years, is an avid fan of professional tennis, and dotes on Nikka, her Bernese Mountain Dog.
