Microaggressions, what are we talking about?
Microaggressions Inclusion Practical tools Work environment
Malika Bouazzaoui
Malika is a psychotherapist specializing in well-being, neurodiversity and support for diverse populations.
This talk delves into the concept of microaggressions, offering a clear understanding of what they are and the profound impact they can have on individuals, teams, and organizational culture over time.
We will explore the subtle yet pervasive nature of microaggressions, how they manifest in everyday interactions, and the cumulative toll they can take on morale, mental health, and overall workplace dynamics. Through engaging discussions and real-world examples, participants will gain insight into how seemingly minor remarks or actions can perpetuate exclusion, bias, and inequality.
The session will also equip participants with concrete, actionable strategies for handling these situations. Whether as a bystander witnessing a microaggression or as someone directly affected, you will learn practical steps to respond thoughtfully and effectively. This includes addressing the issue in a way that fosters learning and growth, while also promoting a more inclusive and respectful work environment.
By the end of this talk, participants will leave empowered with the tools and confidence to not only recognize and address microaggressions but to contribute actively to creating a culture of respect, empathy, and inclusion in their daily interactions.
