High-impact training facilitation skill
DELA 400B
Program Overview
This course aims to provide participants with the skills needed to train even the most difficult group of participants successfully. One of the most challenging training courses is mandatory cultural diversity training. It is undervalued, and poor trainers make the problem worse.
Even if you have an eager audience, your level of facilitation skill can turn them into discontented people wishing they were somewhere else. Their learning experience depends on how well the facilitator manages the class and the landmines that surface along the way.
Goals
Upon completion of the course, participants will:
A better understanding of their training and facilitation skills
A better understanding of their training and facilitation skills
- Understand the organizational inclusion change process
- Develop a rationale for the inclusion plan
- Understand how to use a Balanced Scorecard in the planning process.
- Utilize the content to build a plan
- Develop a continuous learning action plan

Participant Success Story
I have taken the CDP course in the past and other DELA courses. I am excited about completing the CDE. I have learned so much working with Dr. Billy over the years. I immediately realized after starting the strategic planning course that I needed to have completed that long before now – Dr. Billy had been encouraging me to do so based on what he knows about my work.

Why students love this program
Hello. You are so awesome! I am so glad that you are sharing your D&I knowledge and experience with the global community. I will definitely keep in touch. I have learned a great deal and plan to put it in action.

I just presented an overview of the program to our Vice President of Diversity & Inclusion and her team. They were impressed with the "Cultural Competence and Organizational Inclusion" framework and the five stages of cultural competence in the model. I shared that by way of next steps my plans are to complete a comprehensive assessment of the business unit I support to determine where they are perceived to be along that continuum and then work with their office to identify potential interventions.

That is an excellent question. As of August 1, 2020, federal and state guidance on how to reopen live classroom training sessions is insufficient to even guess at start dates. The pandemic has not been arrested and that is likely the best turn of events that will offer that insight. Please check back as often as necessary or sign up to receive our newsletter at the bottom of this page.
In the meantime, online courses have, understandably, become very possible. In addition, we are currently considering a more intensive live, online experience (e.g., fours hour per day over two days for each course). If that is something you are interested in learning more about, please contact us.
>The CDE is designed and developed for individuals serving in cultural diversity leadership roles within an organization. The individual typically reports directly to the head of the organization, such as the CEO or president. The graduate’s range of potential influence within the organization is considerable compared to a diversity manager or someone with diversity and inclusion (D&I) expertise reporting to a middle manager, such as the human resource manager.
Yes, the distance learning format was the first format we offered the programs back in 1998. Now we use a state of the art learning platform called Canvas Instructure. You can begin the first course in each online program as soon as you register. There is also a weekly – strictly voluntarily – live one-hour video conferencing session for the course. It either meets either on a Tuesday or Thursday. You do not have to attend. It there when you want to attend. You can ask questions, meet other participants, and get an overview of the current module being covered in the course.
