What Others Are Saying
Further understanding of my biases and how they may be affecting the people that I interact with. It's a wake-up call to see even the small things that could ingrained in my subconscious that I have to work out.
I found ion Learning to be an outstanding methodology for learning. The ability to complete an online module, then come together with my team to discuss questions and experiences was extremely helpful in reinforcing the content and committing to changes in behavior.
Great session! I strongly believe every individual should have an opportunity to take this training.
These are learning that no one ever teaches you and you don't have to go through negative experiences to learn what is right and be a champion. You can learn from other peoples experiences.
Gratitude is a specific skill that's helped improve my work. Overall, the amount of self-reflection built into the course has helped me clarify where I am today in my DEI journey, where I want to go, and how I can get there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each course has a specific launch date and is designed to take 3 months complete. Each module has a suggested due date to help you stay on track. You can extend your subscription if you need more time to complete the course work.
On the course launch date, there will be a virtual kick-off event where you will get to meet one of your instructors, learn about the new journey you are about to embark, and how ion Connect works.
Every course on the ion Connect platform operates within the ion framework of alternating micro eLearning content and small peer learning group discussion sessions. We call these discussion sessions your “Peer Learning Group” or PLG for short! After completing approximately 60 minutes of micro eLearning content, you will meet with your PLG to discuss the course content and explore how to apply what you have learned in your personal and professional life.
Every course you signup for on ion, you are placed into a diverse peer learning group of 3-4 people. These people in your cohort have also subscribed from places around the US and from many different backgrounds and experiences. Using RITHM™, our diversity-focused algorithm, it will place you into your group based on an optimal amount of diversity. Every course you sign up for, you will be placed into a new Peer Learning Group to grow and expand your peer network. Did you know that research has shown that forming connections with peers early in your career tends to stimulate larger networks where you are highly sought out for your knowledge and expertise. Being sought out over time is strongly associated with faster promotion and longer tenure, particularly for women and people of color.
Due to hybrid work, creating network connections has become more difficult. ion Connect™ will help you foster these critical connections faster.
