ANTI-RACISM TRAINING: LIVE ONLINE SESSION
Moving beyond awareness into meaningful action.

Join us for a powerful, interactive A Long Talk anti-racism training, created to help individuals and teams move from simply understanding inequity to actively addressing it.

This experience was born from a real need: when coaches saw gaps in understanding on their team, they didnโ€™t avoid the conversationโ€ฆthey started one. Thatโ€™s where A Long Talk began.

Why this matters:
Awareness alone doesnโ€™t create change. Good intentions donโ€™t close gaps. The real work happens in the space between knowing and doing and this training is designed to meet you there.

Youโ€™ll gain:

  • A deeper understanding of racism and its real-world impact
  • Tools to move from passive awareness to active participation
  • Opportunities to practice conversations in a supportive environment
  • A sense of community and shared responsibility in creating change

This session blends education, reflection, and real-time practice so you leave informed and equipped for conversations.

Who should attend?
Open to all industry professionals who are ready to engage, learn, and take action.

Why itโ€™s valuable:

  • A $2,500-value training made accessible
  • Practical, real-world applications
  • A space to grow your confidence in navigating important conversations
