Civil Conversations is the masterclass you need to be an effective, compassionate leader in 2020.

Stop stumbling over your words when they matter the most.

You Need to Talk About Race

Chances are you already have. Maybe you tried your best to say the right things and still felt awkward, unprepared, and overwhelmed. But, no matter your past efforts, you can’t afford to ignore the elephant in the room.

Anton Gunn is uniquely qualified to help you learn how to face this challenge head on. As a diversity expert with experience from the White House to the board room, Anton’s life work is providing real tools to help break down the barriers you’re facing.

The World Is Changing.
Is Your Business Ready?

Listen to the news or look out on the streets of your city. It’s clear that things are changing, and history is being made.

Need further proof? Employee turnover is high, and racial discrimination claims and other legal actions accounted for half a billion dollars worth of fines against American businesses last year.

When your employees don’t feel safe, seen or included, your organization suffers. This masterclass provides actionable steps for each key member of your team—no matter your
organization’s size or industry—that will create lasting positive change.

It's Time For Action

2020 has offered many challenges to the workforce. Corporate leaders and executives must be smart when handling race-based conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion. If you fail, the effects will be long-lasting and painful—because both your workforce and customer base will be slow to forget.

Diving into uncharted territory, taking action, and proving you are ready to learn and grow as a company will boost your mission and your margin, all while contributing to the collective change of our society.

This masterclass is what front-line leaders urgently need to have these meaningful conversations about race with your workforce. Your company can’t afford to hesitate.
