A name mispronounced for months, an idea met with a little laugh: everyday discrimination happens quietly.
The discrimination that harms teams most is neither dramatic nor deliberate: it slips into small, repeated acts that the people doing them often don’t even notice. This module teaches you to see it, even if you never experience it yourself, then to step in with actions anyone can take, without trying to be a hero.

Who it’s for
Anyone who wants the same respect for everyone on their team, and to know how to step in against even subtle discrimination.
Learning objectives
- Recognize everyday and indirect discrimination, almost invisible to those who don’t face it.
- Place yourself on the wheel of privilege to see who around you faces obstacles you don’t see.
- Step in as a bystander with the 5 Ds: Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct.
- Act in your role: if targeted, name the discrimination; as a manager, correct practices that exclude.
