Regan uses empathy, humor, and surgical precision to discuss typically difficult topics. She creates an environment of curiosity and mutual respect so that people are engaged and eager to grow. She trains people from all backgrounds and knowledge levels, focusing on the concept of oppression and how we can identify and resist it, together. DIVERSITY asks "Who is in the room?" INCLUSIVITY asks "Do the people in the room feel welcomed to the table, seen, and heard?" EQUITY asks "Are the organizational policies and procedures fair and impartial?" These principles alone are important, but this knowledge by itself is insufficient to achieve the systemic change and self-correcting processes many organizations require. The solution is anti-oppression: a lens that incorporates not only diversity, equity, and inclusivity principles, but also theory, historical perspectives, and community engagement. Anti-oppression asks us what and who we care about, why certain people are not in the room in the first place, whose stories and experiences remain unheard, and examines not only internal policy, but external policy, work products, and experiences of the broader community. Regan's anti-oppression trainings weave together history, science, media, philosophy, and best practices to crystallize core concepts and assist individuals, communities, and organizations in achieving their anti-oppressive goals. Regan answers questions that people have been too afraid to ask, offering new ways to think about familiar concepts. Regan is also trained in facilitation and conflict resolution. After working with Regan, you will feel informed, empowered, engaged, and ready to journey deeper into anti-oppressive practice.
