Unconscious
Inclusion™
The anti-workshop that takes your team from dysfunctional to dynamic – providing you with the skills to navigate difficult DEI conversations and create lasting change in your workplace.
By Stacey Gordon
You’ve noticed it
The dysfunction that exists on so many of our teams. Your team members don’t know each other, and don’t know how to work together.
Leaders aren’t leading. Team members don’t feel empowered to speak up. No one is communicating with each other.
It feels like…
Biased behavior is plaguing your team, yet issues of identity are not being discussed.
Your team members aren’t equipped to have these difficult yet necessary conversations. Progress is at a standstill.
You’ve tried them before
DEI Workshops. An expert comes in for a short period of time and presents your team with tons of detailed information on how to foster inclusion. But these workshops didn’t work.
They weren’t effective. The change didn’t last.
You may be asking yourself…
How can I create a culture of openness, communication and inclusion on my team?
And how can I make sure this isn’t just a quick fix, that’s it’s a lasting culture shift that sticks?
The truth is
YOU’RE RIGHT
DEI workshops don’t work without additional work. They weren’t designed to stand alone.
When it comes down to it
DEI workshops only speak to the test-taking circuits in our brains.
The problem is…
Learning how to actively promote inclusion is not a test.
We can’t simply cram information into our brains in hopes that we’ll know how to put that information into practice. Our brains don’t work that way.
Think about riding a bicycle. You can learn everything there is to know about the history, physics, and engineering of bicycles. If you had to take a test on this information, you could pass with flying colors. But that doesn’t mean you’ve learned how to actually ride a bicycle.
That’s what typical DEI workshops do. They provide lots of information, but what’s missing is the application. Teams repeat this cycle over and over again, and never get the desired outcome: a healthy and functional team that not only knows the value of inclusion, but can also translate that knowledge into tangible changes.
The bottom line is
DEI workshops are not the solution.
Why?
Because we learn best by trying and doing. More specifically, by trying and failing.
The first time we get on that bicycle, we’re bound to lose our balance, or scrape a knee. We try something, get feedback, and try again. It’s this process of trying and failing that rewires our brains to create lasting change in our mindsets, habits and actions.
And science has shown us that this trial-and-error process works. Most DEI workshops leave out this crucial step: creating room for mistakes and feedback. But this process is how we grow.
We need that space to mess things up a bit: to play around with new ideas, try on unfamiliar concepts, and learn from our mistakes.
It’s time for something different
Because you won’t get the outcomes you’re looking for by just taking another DEI workshop.
If you’re looking to create lasting change in your team culture, you need a solution that:
- Isn't crammable like a test
- Is made for teams
- Is designed with our brain in mind
- Intentionally creates room for mistakes and feedback
- Gives participants the agency to move from awareness to actioin
And that’s exactly why we created
This is not another workshop.
Mobilize change on an individual level by giving your team the tools to feel confident in navigating difficult conversations about DEI.
Unconscious Inclusion is not just something you sit and watch.
It’s something you DO.

It’s time for a new approach
A 13-week anti-workshop designed with our brains in mind.

Our DEI Evolution learning solution was designed using cognitive neuroscience and flexible goal-oriented decision making. This program reinforces diversity, equity and inclusion concepts so that actions taken to create inclusive workplace cultures will be authentic, deliberate, effective and most importantly, lasting.
Working with post-doctoral research, Rework Work partnered with an expert in cognitive neuroscience to develop micro-practices or ways to live the everyday behaviors of inclusion – the small habits that improve one-on-one interactions, group meetings, feedback, and decisions.
