Diplomatic Dialogue: Combating Race Anxiety

A practical, human-centred training programme for organisations

Race anxiety is real. It shapes how people interact at work, leading to avoidance, miscommunication or silence that quietly erodes trust, teamwork and effectiveness.

Diplomatic Dialogue tackles race anxiety directly, in a constructive, practical, and human-centred way. It helps organisations break down barriers, move past fear and create safer, more honest and effective dialogue.

This practical training equips teams to:

• Recognise how race anxiety shows up in everyday interactions

• Communicate with confidence and listen without defensiveness

• Navigate difficult conversations with care

It is not about blame or compliance. It is about building trust, strengthening collaboration and supporting healthier, more resilient organisational cultures.

Diplomatic Dialogue also reframes Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a tool for leadership and organisational growth, helping organisations move forward with confidence, clarity and resilience.

Ready to overcome barriers and build confident, constructive dialogue around race?
Diplomatic Dialogue offers a safe and practical place to begin.
