Recognizing Microaggressions
Tell me if you relate to any of these situations (maybe you’ve even experienced one firsthand):
- In social workplace interactions, some people are included and valued, while others are merely tolerated or completely left out.
- In meetings, the ideas of certain participants are embraced and encouraged, while others struggle to have their voices heard at all.
- In planning decisions, top leaders’ ideas are sought out, yet the input of those who actually implement the plans are treated with disdain and doubt.
“This webinar was excellent! I couldn’t wait to watch the video AGAIN and read the materials cover to cover. I’m looking forward to sharing this with the rest of my faculty!”
– Marci Contreras, MPAS, PA-C, Director of Didactic Curriculum,
University of Texas Medical Branch
According to Dr. Derald Sue, microaggressions communicate intimidating, offensive, or otherwise negative messages to target persons based simply upon their marginalized group membership.
Messages like these:
- You don’t belong here.
- You are not one of us.
- Your ideas aren’t worthy.
- There is something wrong with you.
- You don’t matter.
Think for a moment about the devastating impact upon our colleagues and those we serve who experience these daily indignities and inappropriate comments and behaviors. For the individual and the organization as a whole, morale, productivity, and success suffer.
“I gained incredible skills which helped me find the courage to be more transparent during conflicts and surface issues that lead to constructive conversations rather than dancing around difficult topics.”
– Deb Coffin, Senior Executive
