Unity & Uniqueness
Overview
We all want to belong, but that often means adjusting how we show up—masking, code-switching, and conforming to fit in. This seminar explores the tension between authenticity and acceptance in the workplace, and how organizations can close the relationship gap without asking people to lose themselves. By acknowledging the cost of both showing up and staying silent, we’ll offer tools to foster inclusion that honors both unity and individuality.

Why this? Why now?
The pressure for conformity is at an all-time high. When organizations trade unity and uniqueness for similarity, they become vulnerable to groupthink, blind spots, and the status quo. The need for effective tools to build psychological flexibility into the expression of shared values is key in building a strong, connected workforce that includes multiple generations and backgrounds.
What is Artesian Collaborative’s approach to this issue?
We create safety to explore the pressures towards assimilation and similarity through self-disclosure and connection to lived experiences. This training creates space for an authentic dialogue on how to live out values in a tangible way that promotes safety and engagement.
Our Training Team
As trained mental health professionals, our passion is to help people navigate pain and turn it into growth. Many corporate training programs are great at helping us address the symptoms of tension and conflict, but rarely get to the root of why we feel and act the way that we do. At Artesian Collaborative we believe that tension, conflict and discomfort are not merely problems to be solved. They are opportunities that, when used correctly, can transform our organizations, our relationships and ourselves.
​
As we train your team our primary goals are to:
-
Help your organization build a culture that supports psychological and emotional health.
-
Guide your team through tension and conflict in a way that builds understanding of themselves and others.
-
Facilitate interactive and interpersonal workshops that help teams experience positive interactions in the moment that can serve as a model for healthy organizational culture.
