Join us for this conversation to cast a light on the factors that play into the dynamics of privilege and explore how to use those insights to improve the “system” for a fairer and more inclusive world. In this workshop, we will address head-on (with heart and humility, of course!) the topic of privilege. We will take a deep dive into the questions:

• What is privilege?
• How exactly am I privileged?
• What can I do about it?

Designed to foster deep discussion and immersive understanding, this webinar will leave you galvanized and with a broader sense of empathy. In addition, you will learn:

• The five different types of privilege and how they impact you and others
• How oppression and obstacles present in the “systems” we are born into
• To leverage your own privilege to cause shifts in your life, in your community, and in your organization

About Brint Hiatt: I’ve been involved in startups and tech since before getting into law, in 2005, when I was writing pitch decks and business plans and making presentations to Angels and VCs for a startup video game developer and publisher. After law school I wore many hats at the various startups I worked in, just like any other entrepreneur, taking on responsibilities for operations, analytics, sales, marketing, and business development, finance, in addition to the legal duties I had. I opened my own firm in 2017 because I wanted to be able to make a deeper impact and build deeper relationships with entrepreneurs. That kind of energy feeds me. Besides video games, I have worked in various other industries both before, during, and after law school, such as operational business intelligence, government R&D, charity fundraising, solar, and a few others.
