For Better or For Worse: The Impact of Political Correctness

Does “political correctness” help or hinder your conversations around issues of diversity?

At times you may be afraid of saying the “wrong” thing, and you make the biggest mistake of all, which is to say nothing.

In this National Center for Student Leadership trainer, Maura Cullen, Ph.D., says this fear prevents you from having meaningful conversation.

  • Discover why some groups of people can use a particular word and have it be okay, while a different group uses that exact word and gets called racist.
  • Explore why common terms such as “that’s so gay” or “you’re so retarded” may have a bigger impact than is intended.
  • Examine three steps you can take to immediately de-escalate any difficult conversation.

We offer you practical ways to quickly transform the quality and effectiveness of your communication skills that are vital to your success.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Articulate why being politically correct is not a bad thing.
  2. Understand and move past the fear of saying the wrong thing to engage in conversations that may have previously been avoided.
  3. Recognize why people react strongly to offensive comments.
  4. Gain skills to effectively respond in challenging and uncomfortable situations or when you unintentionally cause harm.
  5. Apply essential components for dismantling barriers towards effective communication around difference.
