CHILEAN MINE RESCUE: The Unstoppable Team
Talk about teamwork? Can it get any better than this? In 2010, millions of people throughout the world were captivated by the extraordinary teamwork demonstrated in the successful rescue of 33 Chilean miners. CHILEAN MINE RESCUE: THE UNSTOPPABLE TEAM is a dynamic and compelling video accompanied by a comprehensive Leader's Guide and PowerPoint slide presentation. These tools are the foundation for a successful workshop that will help team leaders at all levels understand how to:
*Clearly define a common goal and rally people around the goal by creating a vivid connection to the larger purpose of your task.
*Effectively reinforce and communicate the vision to keep your team united and inspired.
*Identify and leverage the skills and capabilities of your team members.
*Forge partnerships and alliances to expand your capabilities.
*Stay open to new ideas, emerging leaders and alternative solutions.

*The review below is by Dr. Sondra Thiederman - author of MAKING DIVERSITY WORK: Seven Steps for Defeating Bias in the Workplace.
"33 miners buried a half-mile beneath a parched desert, dehydration, broken drills, a new baby named Esperanza - what, you might be wondering, does all that have to do with inclusion much less bias-reduction?
The answer: Everything. This engrossing video, you see, is about melding diverse thinking styles and disparate resources to reach a common goal. If that isn't inclusion (and a great way to reduce bias), I don't know what is.
One complaint I often get from potential clients is that they are tired of hearing the word "diversity." It's not, in most cases, that they don't want to talk about diversity/inclusion itself, but merely that the word has come to be associated with skills that are soft and concepts that no longer resonate with their teams.
If that is the case in your workplace, I recommend you use the Chilean Mine Rescue video as a way to approach diversity from a new direction. For example, when the Leader's Guide talks about the importance of seeking out diverse resources, you can generate a discussion of what resources - in terms of diverse thinking styles, background, or experience - are available in your workplace."
