With over 35 years of practice in human services and a deep passion for the practical applications of social science, Dr. Kippax brings a rare blend of insight, innovation, and empathy to his work. He is the author of a groundbreaking book on inclusive and exclusive interactions, published in 2019, and the founder of Including Us, a practice dedicated to fostering inclusive communication.

In this training, Dr. Kippax will guide participants through the art and science of listening beyond assumptions, toward genuine understanding and inclusive connection.

Tools to apply authentic listening in everyday settings
Strategies to recognise bias and navigate cultural sensitivities
Techniques to strengthen psychological and cultural safety
Methods to foster inclusive, creative, and collaborative environments
Interactional thinking tools for effective communication
