Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts

Have you ever heard someone say something biased or demeaning and you didn’t know whether to speak up?

Have you ever said something unintentionally offensive and wished you could take it back?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this video training program is for you.

OUCH! That Stereotype Hurts will help you gain the skills and confidence needed to successfully communicate in a diverse world.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the impact of stereotypes and biased statements, even when casually said.
  • Identify the most common reasons people sit silently in the face of bias and stereotypes.
  • Enhance skills for speaking up against stereotypes without blame or guilt.
To me, one of the most impressive things about the OUCH program is its simplicity. It deals with what is often a highly charged and emotional subject in clear, straightforward language that all of us can understand and makes the case that we all greatly benefit, both individuals and organizations, from a bias-free workplace. “Biases and stereotypes are among the biggest barriers to creating an inclusive workplace. The “Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts” program is one of the most effective tools we’ve seen that organizations can use against them.

“The Ouch Video is a great complement to our harassment training since many potential harassment situations involve those “not so obvious” stereotypical comments. As participants watched the video, we could see heads nodding in agreement that stereotypes still exist. Since rolling out the training, employees in all of our facilities across the US are saying “ouch” to speak up against stereotypes.”

Ouch! Your Silence Hurts

Do you ever stand by silently when you feel you should speak up? If so, your silence hurts.

Many people say they want to speak up when they see others stereotyped, disrespected, or demeaned. But they stand by silently because of discomfort or the fear of saying the wrong thing. They may turn away thinking “who am I to get involved, this isn’t my business.”

In fact, as a bystander, you ARE part of the conversation. You are the audience. Your silence allows the disrespectful behavior to continue. Your silence hurts

Learning Objectives

  • Explore the power of the bystander to make a difference.  
  • Understand the high cost of silent collusion. 
  • Inspire passive bystanders to use their voices as active allies.
I have one word, Fabulous! This video gives real, gut-wrenching examples of individuals and situations. Most important, it challenges people and gives them the idea that they have the ability to confront stereotypes by showing them how. Ouch! Your Silence Hurts will be so helpful because most people want to do something but don’t know what or how.

The voices in the shadows was a stirring image, and the specific examples of what to say were effective. The most powerful piece of learning for me was to establish that it is better to say something that is imperfect, rather than waiting to think about the right words and saying nothing.
