Third Option Similarity Training
Do you want to learn how to have a conversation about race but are afraid of saying the wrong thing? Do you want to cultivate unity to your organization but are afraid you’ll bring more division? The Third Option Similarity Training offers language on how to approach the conversation while honoring everyone involved. Today, we are in us vs them a culture that dishonors one another. The Third Option is about honoring what we have in common.
In this 6-session study, you will be able to discover the common misconceptions that keep people from engaging with those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. You’ll identify blind spots you may have and through a journey of self-discovery, begin living out your similarities with others.
Join us for this transformational series beginning in February.

In this class you will learn...
Class 1: Similarity
Participants should walk away more aware of the similarities they share with people they once considered as “those people.” When people realize they have more similarities than differences, it is easier to RESPECT others the same as we RESPECT ourselves.
Class 2: Grouping
Participants are able to convert those considered ‘not like me’ into those ‘like me.’ When people ware empowered to see people ‘like me’ they can be intentional about destroying the walls of division. We desire intentional inclusivity.
Class 3: Blind Spots
Participants learn about their own blind spots and can intentionally improve how they honor others. When our eyes are open to our blind spots, we become more self-aware and FORGIVING to others.
Class 4: Labels
Participants become educated on the power of labels and intentionally describe others in a more honoring manner. When we understand the power of labels, we change in how we SPEAK more honorably about others and improve what we believe about them.
Class 5: Brother's/Sister's Keeper
Participants are empowered to confront dishonoring behavior toward others done by friends and family. Being a BROTHER’S/SISTER’S KEEPER empowers people to HONORABLY INTERVENE and be an active part of the SOLUTION.
Class 6: Race Consultations
Participants are empowered to have honoring race conversations by first having race consultations. When we learn to listen before we speak, that is when we actually LEARN
