Course Description

Diversity is at the heart of our modern world, and meaningful conversations about it are essential for personal growth and creating inclusive spaces. However, finding the right words to discuss diversity can be a challenge. Are you unsure where to start? Afraid of saying the wrong thing? 

Join us for an enlightening webinar hosted by Jina Etienne, where she will guide you through the process of developing a language of diversity that empowers you to engage in these vital conversations with confidence. In this session, Jina will explore the intricacies of discussing diversity, providing practical insights and tools to help you navigate these dialogues without fear of coming across as dumb or uninformed. From understanding the basics to addressing complex issues, we'll equip you with the language and skills to express yourself in meaningful conversations, share your perspective, and contribute to building more inclusive and equitable environments. 

Learning Objectives:


  • Practice strategies to overcome the fear of misspeaking or appearing ignorant in discussions, promoting a more open and inclusive dialogue

  • Identify techniques for initiating conversations about diversity and addressing the essential topics, even if you're new to the subject

  • Define how to gain confidence in discussing complex diversity issues and handling them with sensitivity, empathy, and respect

Jina is a consultant and speaker on diversity, inclusion, culture, and belonging. She creates training programs and workshops to help clients move forward in their D&I journey. She is a storyteller and speaks candidly about her experiences, hard lessons, and ‘aha’ moments that helped her understand the importance of individuality, the value of curiosity, and the courage it takes to “just” be yourself. Often described as “approachable” and “relatable” by her clients, she works with purpose and the intention of being engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to real-world situations. Jina draws from her unique background and mix of work experiences to offer examples and share insights designed to benefit everyone across the workplace ecosystem – executives, management, employees, and customers.

Previously, she was Principal Consultant at EtiennePartners (EP), a boutique consulting firm that offered a unique strategy development, workshops & coaching to leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. Co-founded with her husband, EP was a full-time partnership in both work and life. Although in different professions, their work often intersected around the importance of self-awareness in leadership and navigating conflict within teams. Combining their experiences, backgrounds, and work led to the development of their unique approach to D&I, which she continues to use in her practice today.
