Workshop: Allyship in the Workplace

In this interactive and engaging virtual workshop, we’ll share the critical ways you can be a true ally in the workplace. You’ll learn what an ally is and isn’t, how to go beyond performative allyship, and gain the skills and tools to show up for your team at work. We’ll practice using real world examples, have meaningful discussions, and you’ll be left knowing how you can be an ally, whether you’re an individual contributor or a people manager. You’ll receive a toolkit chock full of resources and areas where you can reflect and hold yourself accountable beyond the workshop.

About the Facilitator:

Rachel Sadler advocates for educational equity with the belief that education can start to break the cycle of generational poverty. As a former classroom teacher and school leader, she has worked with students at the middle school level with successful social and academic outcomes. Her skills include coaching educators who work with underserved student populations to develop positive rapport and implement trauma-informed practices in the classroom. By working with educators, she aims to reduce racialized trauma that BIPOC students experience in schools. In addition to her work in classrooms, she understands that children are also largely impacted by their communities and lived experiences. To combat this, she facilitates DEI conversations in the academic and corporate setting to mitigate the effects of workplace trauma that often follow parents back into their homes. This includes topics such as microaggressions, race and gender discrimination, inclusive interviewing and hiring practices, and performative allyship.

Rachel has a master’s degree in Lifespan & Digital Communication from Old Dominion University and a secondary concentration in Women’s Studies. She is passionate about women’s representation in sports and athletic spaces, working to address the intersections of gender, perception of athleticism, and acceptance. She works to dismantle the traditional ideas of what constitutes an athlete in order to create welcoming health and wellness spaces for all bodies.
