What The Call-in Card™ Teaches
The Call-in Card™ is a practical workplace training that helps staff respond to questionable behavior by calling people in instead of immediately calling them out. Grounded in conscious conversations, the training gives participants a clear process for addressing moments of bias, harm, or tension when intent is not yet fully known.
Participants explore what makes certain workplace behaviors questionable, why these moments are often hard to interpret, and how common responses like doing nothing, gossiping, reporting too quickly, or confronting someone harshly can create additional tension. The goal is to build more skillful, informed responses that reduce misunderstanding while still addressing potential harm.
Through videos, reflection, and communication practice, participants learn how to use the call-in process to request a conversation, ask clarifying questions, paraphrase what they hear, and make more thoughtful decisions about what response is needed in the moment.
Pillar 1: Questionable Behavior
Learn what makes behavior questionable, and why uncertainty about intent can make response difficult.
Pillar 2: Calling In vs Calling Out
Explore the difference between calling in and calling out, and when each response may carry risks or benefits.
Pillar 3: Conscious Conversations

Testimonials
“This training gave me a much more practical way to respond when something feels off with a patron or peer but I do not have the full picture yet. Instead of freezing or going straight to frustration, I now feel better prepared to ask questions, start a conversation, and address things earlier.”
Library Employee“Our team had been dealing with repeated conflict, tension, and a pattern of people either avoiding issues or escalating them too fast. This training gave us a much-needed tool for addressing questionable behavior in a more thoughtful, consistent, and workable way.”
HR Director“I used this approach in a difficult conversation with a parent, and it helped me stay grounded and curious instead of reactive. The structure made it easier to address the concern directly while still protecting the relationship.”
