A Trainer's Guide to Training Tough Topics

Diversity training has been attempting to go “beyond race and gender” for years but a paralyzing fear of tougher issues and a lack of adequate training materials continue to bring the effort to a grinding halt.

Now trainers and HR professionals everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, there’s a resource to help overcome the fear, ease the discomfort, and fill a significant void in training literature.

Training Tough Topics is the first book to tackle tough-to-teach, potentially divisive issues including:

  • Sexual Harassment
  • Transgender workplace issues
  • The role of spirituality/religion in the workplace
  • Sexual Orientation
  • HIV/AIDS
  • People with disabilities
  • Workplace Violence
  • Multiculturalism

Thorough in coverage and written in an easily accessible style, this valuable guide gives trainers a positive, construction approach to dealing with topics previously thought too tough to talk about.

Filled with complete programs on each topic that include:

  • Specific Techniques
  • Ooverhead Masters
  • Scripts and Exercises

A Trainer’s Guide to Training Tough Topics contains everything needed to build all-inclusive diversity education programs and create a more honest, open, and productive work environment.
