Top 10 DIVERSITY Products:
 | DROP BY DROP
Drop by Drop is an expensive yet welcome addition to the diversity trainer's toolbox. The beauty of this product is that it encourages self-awareness without blame or judgment. |
| AWESOME! 
I highly endorse AWESOME! It is a great catalyst for the organizational conversations that need to happen to ensure generational peace. |
| Village of 100, 3rd ed.
Village of 100 suggests the inescapable fact of diversity in a few minutes. It's a trainer's dream in a time-constrained, attention-short, and sometimes cynical era. |
| People
People is visually arresting and easy to watch. You could try to pass it off simply as an affirmation that your organization places a high value on respect and individual self-worth. I don't recommend that you try that, however, because this pretty package invites the viewer to set the ideal against the reality. Whatever the result, the conversation is worth having, but you need to be prepared to have it. |
| A Real World Guide to Diversity in the Workplace
I recommend A Real World Guide to Diversity in the Workplace for any organization looking to increase awareness of diversity. The accompanying leader's guide also does a fine job outlining topics for discussion in conjunction with the video. The video's production quality is outstanding. The use of text and graphics gives it an interactive flavor. There is little chance viewers will be bored during this presentation. |
 | The Global Diversity Desk Reference: Managing an International Workforce
I highly recommend The Global Diversity Desk Reference by Lee Gardenswartz and Anita Rowe. It contains relevant exercises and examples for use in a variety of industries and work settings. The book is an outstanding buy for the money, and I have already recommended the purchase of this book to several clients. |
| Dialogue: Now You're Talking!
Dialogue: Now You're Talking! is a worthy DVD program that can help people in your organization handle conflict more productively. |
| The Angry Eye
This is a fantastic video package. Jane Elliott consistently creates microcosms of society in her classrooms. People are stressed to the point where they begin to experience the racism that many experience on a daily basis. If you are looking for a package that digs into the roots of the diversity issue, purchase this one. But be aware that this level of realism also creates a high level of risk for the sponsoring organization. You cannot watch this video without having an emotional response. |
| Patient Diversity: Beyond the Vital Signs
Although it’s hard to do this topic justice in only 19 minutes, it’s even harder to get healthcare workers to sit still for anything longer. Patient Diversity manages to strike the balance between enough information to get everyone thinking in the right direction and so much information that they start looking at their watches. |
| Essential Blue-Eyed, Trainer's Edition
It's hard to imagine a stronger message than the one sent by The Essential Blue-Eyed. Jane Elliot will not let you forget that complacency about racism and discrimination is repugnant. She doesn't lecture viewers about it; she shows them how people feel when they're made to suffer for being different. The lesson is unforgettable. You need to balance this potential high reward with the potential risk of discomfort and displeasure in the audience. |
