REIB Bold: Learning Collaborative for Managers & Supervisors
Learning Collaborative for CalWORKs & CalFresh Supervisors & Managers
- Two all-day sessions
Capacity: 40 participants
Today, managers and supervisors are navigating unprecedented challenges: rising burnout rates, hybrid work tensions, a “four generation” work- force, and increasing demands for equity and inclusion. The Justice Collective has designed an in-person, 2-day learning experience that leverages the power of knowledge exchange and shared experience. Managers and supervisors will explore workplace well-being, communication across differences, and cultural humility while enhancing leadership skills and strategies. This collaborative equips participants with practical leadership strategies to foster psychologically safe, inclusive teams to implement equitable management practices that drive organizational change.
The collaborative is designed for managers and supervisors motivated to incorporate REIB practices into their day-to-day operations.

The Learning Collaborative takes place over 2 days. The schedule is as follows:
Day 1
Workplace Well-Being, Mental Health,
and Emotional Intelligence
In-Person | 8 hours
Burnout, quiet-quitting, and great resignation are all indicators that we are overdue when it comes to shifting how we work. In this session, you will get to discuss the direct impacts of organizational culture on your own and your team’s well-being. Using the Surgeon General’s Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being Frameworks, you will explore and identify the ways you can prioritize and lead a shift to a more equitable, sustainable, and human-centered workplace culture.
We will also take a deep dive into Emotional Intelligence (EQ) as a key skill for learning how to navigate an ever-shifting world and culture. It is a highly useful and critical skill in your day-to-day leading teams, managing systems, and serving program participants. In this session, you will get to discuss and explore the importance of EQ in the workplace and be given tools to help you strengthen the skills needed to manage a healthier, more empathetic, and more generative work culture where collaboration and mutual support can thrive.
Day 2
Enagaging Emotional Intelligence and Cultural Humility to Navigate Bias and Communicate Effectively Across Differences
In-person | 8 hours
In the U.S., we are in such an important moment where we are having very challenging and honest conversations about the historical and lasting impacts of power, privilege, microaggressions, and implicit bias in the workplace. These conversations are helping to reveal important ways in which our systems need to shift in order to support all of us fully, and we understand that these conversations are not always easy to engage in. In this session, we want to help build up your confidence and empower you to not only engage in these conversations but be able to lead shifts within your own teams. As a cohort, you will discuss the impacts of these harmful systems (power, privilege, racism, etc.) in your day-to-day, identify practical and meaningful ways to shift work culture and practice the skills needed to create brave space to empower your team to become a part of the solution, particularly the skill of cultural humility.
The REIB Bold: Learning Collaborative will provide the framework, tools, and resources to enable managers and supervisors to:
- Build essential leadership skills to lead generative and resilient teams in daily REIB practice.
- Identify specific goals and resources for sustainable change and workplace well-being that combat burnout while maintaining productivity.
- Practice emotional awareness techniques to lead diverse teams effectively in an increasingly multicultural workplace.
