The Science of Human Behavior.

The Skills for a Culture of Inclusion and Psychological Safety.

 

​

THREE LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Inclusion Academy 2027 is an organization-wide virtual learning experience designed to help people better understand human behavior, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills to show up better for one another.

Organizations can choose one three-month learning experience—or participate for the entire year.

One organization. One membership. Everyone included.

 

THREE WAYS TO LEARN THROUGHOUT 2027

 

February - April, 2027
Experience 1: Understanding Human Behavior

 

Why We Do What We Do

Before we can better understand others, we need to better understand ourselves. This experience explores the often-hidden forces influencing how we think, feel, interpret situations, and behave—and why understanding those influences matters for inclusion.

 

Monthly Learning Sessions

Meet Your Brain: Why We Do What We Do
Explore Dr. Steve’s Ancient Brain/Modern Brain framework, automatic processing, cognitive shortcuts, and the hidden influences shaping everyday behavior.

 

The Human Need to Belong: Why Inclusion Matters
Explore our powerful need to belong and why inclusion and psychological safety matter to how people interact, contribute, and perform.

 

The Power of Reflection & the Stories We Tell Ourselves
Discover how greater self-awareness can help us recognize automatic reactions, assumptions, and the stories shaping how we see ourselves and others.

 

Special Topics Lunch & Learns

Why It’s So Hard to Give—and Receive—Feedback

Why We Put Things Off—even When We Know Better

Experience 2: Building Better human Connections

 

The Science of Relationships

The quality of our relationships is shaped by the quality of our everyday interactions.

This experience explores the science behind empathy, trust, and psychological safety—and the behaviors that help people feel respected, valued, and able to contribute.

Experience 3: Navigating the Human Side of Work

 

Showing Up Better When It Matters Most

Understanding human behavior becomes especially important when situations get difficult.

This experience explores how differences, organizational pressures, assumptions, and automatic reactions influence workplace behavior—and how we can make more intentional choices when doing so isn’t easy.

 

Monthly Learning Sessions

When Differences Become Divisions
Explore the psychology of us-versus-them thinking and why differences in identity, beliefs, and perspective can become sources of division.

 

The Invisible Forces Shaping Workplace Behavior
Explore how norms, expectations, incentives, and environments influence the choices people make.

 

The Power of Showing Up Better
Apply the HERO Skills®—Humility, Empathy, Reflection, and Open-mindedness—to the everyday moments that test our ability to respond intentionally.

Ready-to-Use Internal Communications

We’ll provide the language and information your Academy Coordinator needs to promote opportunities throughout your organization.

 

And the Learning Doesn't Stop There

Academy organizations also receive access through December 31, 2027 to:

Curious Conversations with Dr. Steve

Burst Learning Video Library
Short, on-demand learning designed to keep important ideas alive between live experiences.

Two Special Academy Events

In May and September, Dr. Steve will host special virtual Inclusion Academy events exploring timely and provocative questions about human behavior, inclusion, and the changing workplace. These events will also be open to people outside the Academy.

Inclusion Academy member organizations participate at no additional cost. More details coming soon.

 

One Membership. Everyone Included.

Inclusion Academy is designed to make organization-wide learning practical. There are no per-employee participation fees for Academy virtual programming. Your organization designates an Academy Coordinator. We provide the content, resources, communications, and participation links. Your organization decides how broadly to promote each opportunity and manages its own internal participation. That means less administration—and more opportunities for people across your organization to learn.
