Dialogue on Diversity: Straight White Men Speak Out. Produced by Marilyn Loden, 1996. This video features seven white men and is an unrehearsed, “live” discussion about diversity. Althought these men do not speak for all white men, they value diversity yet struggle with common issues: how to be inclusive, how to communicate effectively across cultural barriers; how to build trust. Best used as a conversation catalyst, this video is 30 minutes long and includes a 23-page facilitation guide.

Diversity Management with Dr. R. Roosevelt Thomas. In candid format, Dr. R. Roosevelt Thomas, author of Beyond Race and Gender and Redefining Diversity provides answers to 20 tough questions on diversity: Why does diversity have to be managed? Can you have too much diversity? How do you begin implementing diversity management practices? This video is 30 minutes long and includes a self-study book, Handling Diversity in the Workplace.

Diversity Unplugged: Provocative Insights, Practical Solutions. Using a realistic approach, this video workshop inspires personal responsibility for making diversity work. This dynamic videotape addresses real issues, voiced by real people, not actors, and is guaranteed to motivate passionate and productive discussions. This highly interactive design uses a spirited mix of group discussion and targeted group activities that create relevant awareness. The goals are the following for the workshop participants: to understand the value of a diverse workforce as it relates both to themselves and their organization; to identify their own role in the effectiveness of a diverse workplace; and to develop strategies for their organization. Includes a 33-minute video, 74-page comprehensive Leaders Guide for a 6 to 8 hour workshop, plus 10 participant workbooks.
