TMC is committed to continuous learning and evolution as we progress on our antiracist journey. Sometimes this shows up in how we approach language—what we say and how we say it.Instead of “People of Color and Indigenous” (POCI), we are now using “Black, Indigenous, People of Color” (BIPOC) internally and externally.While we understand that there is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach to discussing systemic racism, we believe that the term BIPOC better centers the unique experiences and relationships that Black and Indigenous people have with white supremacy and systemic oppression within a present-day U.S. context. We strive to do our best to address anti-Blackness and Indigenous invisibility, and to amplify the experiences of all people of color in our internal and external work.

We know that managers who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color often face unique issues within their organizations while navigating the intersections of race, class, gender and other identities. So, we’ve designed two management training courses to create a space to discuss and offer support around the challenges of being a manager of color in progressive and social justice organizations, and to share practices that can help managers of color thrive.

Managing to Change the World, 101 Edition: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Cohort

If you’re a newer manager and have never attended one of our Management Crash Courses, this Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Cohort is for you!

We’ll cover all of the management tools and best practices that we include in our regular 2-day Crash Course, with extra time built in for discussion about navigating race, identity, and power dynamics within our organizations for managers of color. In this training, you’ll learn how to:

• Delegate tasks effectively
• Level the playing field for marginalized staff using management choice points
• Use goals to hand off broad responsibilities
• Check in with your staff efficiently
• Strategically manage up to your boss and colleagues to advocate for you and your work
• Prioritize your time, even when you have an overflowing plate
• Use tools to lessen the impact of unconscious bias in how we evaluate others
• Share and receive feedback to foster trust, learning, connection, and accountability
• Resolve performance problems and know when it’s time to manage people out
• Recognize the impact of internalized oppression and practice effective ways to show up as your authentic self
• Incorporate an equity and inclusion lens in applying the management practices above
• Ensure your team get great results

Managing to Change the World, 201 Edition: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Cohort

If you have already attended one of our Crash Course trainings, and want to discuss issues around being a manager of color and around organizational-level policy and practice more broadly, join us for the 201 Edition.

We’ll do brief refreshers on management best practices and spend the balance of time going in-depth on the nuances of management, equity, and inclusion and what it takes to for our organizations to get outstanding results. In this 201 training, we’ll cover:

• Different approaches to effectively delegate ownership of tasks, roles, and goals with a lens on equity and inclusion
• Creating decision-making opportunities that level the playing field for marginalized staff
• Using inclusive processes to foster engagement, feedback, and buy-in from those most impacted by decisions
• Being a better advocate of shifting the status quo on equity and inclusion within your organization
• Recognizing the impact of internalized oppression and practicing effective ways to show up as your authentic self
• Sharing and receiving feedback to foster trust, learning, connection, and accountability
