F2F Class Notes (JJ)

Homework:

If you or anyone you know is being harmed, you should speak up. Harm can be done by anyone to anyone -friends, relatives and strangers, men, women. No matter how they are or what color their skin is. Don’t be afraid if speak up will make things worse. Building yourself confidence will enable you to gather more strength and courage to help you speak up for yourself or others. Don’t be afraid to say no or speak up necessary. When you see offensive behavior at work, speaking up can be scary. But you are not doing your job as an employee, colleague, or leader if you let it ?? If a coworker makes an offensive joke, you can say “you may not have meant to offend, but here’s how I experienced it.” It’s a good idea to think about different types of situations where you may need to speak up and how you will respond. Having a plan will ensure you are ready to confront bad behavior when you see it.

Revised:

Don’t be afraid because you think speaking up will make things worse. Building your self-confidence will enable you to gather more strength and courage to help you speak up for yourself or others. Don’t be afraid to say no or to speak up necessary. By letting harm be done and not doing anything about it, do you think that you are a good employee, colleague or leader? If a coworker makes an offensive joke, you can say “you may not have intended to offend me, but that’s how I felt.” It’s a good idea to think about different types of situations where you may need to speak up and how you would respond.
