A 6 Week NeuroNarrative Learning Cohort for Sustainable Workplace Change

with Terrence Taylor

Making Inclusion S.T.I.C.K is a NeuroNarrative-based learning cohort designed to help individuals and teams move beyond one-time diversity and inclusion training and into consistent, real-world application.Most inclusion training creates awareness — but struggles to create lasting change. This cohort focuses on what happens after the session ends

Through a structured learning journey built on three core elements — Map, Legend and Compass — participants will:

Map: Identify real-world moments where inclusion and exclusion show up in their work

Legend: Understand practical frameworks and patterns for responding effectively

Compass: Apply what they’ve learned through guided reflection, weekly prompts, and real-life integration

Participants begin with a live session, followed by a series of self-guided activities and reflections over several weeks and conclude with a final session focused on integration and forward action.

This approach ensures that inclusion is not treated as a moment, but as an ongoing practice — one that is reinforced, revisited and sustained over time.

A Deeper Dive on Gender Identity & Gender Expression

Gender Expression Fundamentals

This module is primarily concerned with deepening understanding of the term “gender expression”.

It explores some of the myriad ways identity can be expressed, and reviews real-life examples of gender expression being restricted, both formally and informally. The module connects gender expression to other intersectional factors of identity. Gender Expression Fundamentals concludes with three small action items and a discussion of “personal inventory” as preparation for engaging in allyship.There will also be time for Q&A.

A Deeper Dive on Gender Identity & Gender Expression

Gender Expression Applications

This module begins with a review of best practices related to supporting people with diverse gender identities in three areas: personal support, institutional practices, and environmental experiences.

Following this review, there is a brief discussion of current political realities facing people with diverse gender identities, composed of discussing international context and reviewing current Canadian issues.

The bulk of the module will be a discussion of four scenarios. Each participant will have time to discuss two scenarios in detail, and review the other two scenarios as part of a debrief. Each scenario has proposed discussion questions, and most scenarios also include suggested scripts for practice.
